Skyrad 0 #26 December 29, 2006 QuoteQuoteOne Iraqi offical noted that the US will maintain custody until minites before the execution. I hope this is the case. Otherwise, some nuts could free him and he would be on the loose again. I think the above is the wise course of action. And wherever the gallows is located, should be ringed by U.S. soldiers to prevent any kind of rescue attempt by terrorists. I think thats highly unlikely John, more likely that they'd give him a kicking. As for terrorists freeing him, I really don't think that all that many people would give a shit about him let alone their life. I was talking to a Sunni Iraqi the other day over dinner and he pointed out that unlike the media portrayal the Baath party included alot of Shia as well. People feared Sadam they didn't love him.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

dorbie 0 #28 December 29, 2006 They shouldn't hang him because it is too expensive, the years of appeals and millions in legal expenses will tie up the system, it's better to let him rot in jail....... What's that you say? 30 days! But, but, but... I can't use my favorite cannard! And Muslim extremists have plenty of martyrs already and most hate Saddam. It's just amazing we have to hear reports of a few barbarians threatening bloody revenge of Saddam dies, when that's all they've been vowing for the last 15 years. "More bloody revenge?" "Yes a plague upon your house, you will open the gates of hell if you kill Saddam." "The gates of hell, again? I thought they were already open." "This time we really mean it you've seen nothing yet." I think they should just remand him into the custody of the Kurds, and dispense with all the sophistry. Where were all the do nothing bleeding hearts when Saddam was torturing & butchering with impunity? NOW they have something to say? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #30 December 30, 2006 QuoteTRIPOLI (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein is a prisoner of war and must be tried by Iraq's invaders, the United States and Britain, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Friday. "Saddam Hussein is a prisoner of war ... He's been overthrown by foreign invading forces, not by the Iraqi army or the Iraqi people," Gaddafi said. "The countries that captured him should try him -- America or Britain -- because all Iraq is under occupation, including the judges and the lawyers," he told reporters in Tripoli. Iraqi officials said on Friday that Saddam may be hanged within hours, and the prime minister met U.S. officials to determine whether the execution could go ahead before a week-long religious holiday. He was found guilty over the killing, torture and other crimes against the Shi'ite population of the town of Dujail after militants tried to assassinate him there in 1982, during Iraq's war with Shi'ite Iran. Gaddafi said the International Court of Justice and the General Assembly of the United Nations must give their point of view on the case. "Where is the world's conscience?" he said. He's got a point, hasn't he?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #31 December 30, 2006 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A key court official said Iraq's government had told him to be ready to attend the hanging of Saddam Hussein between 5.30 a.m. and 6 a.m. (2:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. British time) on Saturday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he had been sworn to secrecy, told Reuters a government official telephoned to tell him he would be taken to the place of execution in time for 5.30. The court official is among those who must, by law, attend any execution. The government has been meeting U.S. officials to determine if a hanging can take place on Saturday and it was still not clear if a final decision had been made or whether court officials were being gathered simply as a precautionary measure.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

skybill 22 #32 December 30, 2006 Hi JR, Looks like he's goin' down!!! Quite frankly I think they should open the gate, set him out on the streets of Bagdad with 25 cents in his pocket for cab fare, say,"April Fool!!!" and see what happens?? (either the local's will cart him off as a hero or tear him apart like raw meat??????)Instead, think I'll get an "Unedited!!" copy of "Hangem' High" that old Clint Eastwood Spaghattie Western, fix me a couple of High Ball's and turn off the NEWS. Remember in Hangem' High, the executioner didn't wear a mask or say anything, for that matter. Then there's that one hangin' scene where they hang a bunch of dudes at once and Cooper (Clint E.) takes that dance hall chick upstairs and balls her while the dudes drop!!!! Too bad the movie wasn't "X" rated, that would have been great!! Gotta have an X for sex but killing people is GP!!!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaVinci 0 #36 December 30, 2006 QuoteYou reckon? Walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... I provide logical reason why, you answer with nonsense. Do you really think that the Iraqi's could provide the same level of security as the US Army? Being that Saddam was maybe the largest Profile Prisoner in the WORLD. Add in that Saddam was being held in the middle of a WAR ZONE. Don't you think the most secure troops should be guarding Saddam? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #42 December 30, 2006 QuoteQuoteOthers say that hanging him will make him a martyr for Muslim extremism, and will only increase the violence in Iraq. His hanging will cost American troop's lives, not worth it to me - I say have the US military leaders tell the US appointed puppet government of Iraq to just jail him. Good thing it wasn't a "US appointed puppet government" then, huh? As for the original post... he has been tried and sentenced under Iraqi law, by an Iraqi court.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
