I'm against the Death Penalty, period. The guy should spend the rest of his life in jail, not take the easy way out.

I bet GWB is rubbing his hands with glee, the twat.

The death penalty is simply barbaric, hanging especially.

Strange how this verdict got postponed by at least 2 weeks to just to days before our election:

quote:

"A verdict against Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants charged with crimes against humanity in connection with an anti-Shiite crackdown in the 1980s will be announced Nov. 5, a senior court official said Monday. Sentences for those found guilty will be issued the same day," http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006...D8KPMFNO1.shtml

More on our influence and playing politics with Iraq here.

Shocking, I know, to think of Bush playing politics with Iraq and all. By the way, how is Osama?

Osama is one lucky guy, Bush decided to kill Saddam as of now and keep Osama card for later use.

we need a seperate forum just for the CT's to circle jerk each other with.

I'm not sure the US wants to keep him alive, to be honest. It would continue to fuel the insurgency, especially if certain sects start making demands for Saddam's release. I'm honestly surprised that there haven't been more demands like this, or maybe we just don't hear about them?

I think they're thinking that he'll disappear from the public consciousness faster as a short-lived martyr than as a long-term detainee.

I don't really think that this will have much impact on the mid-terms on Tuesday. At least I hope not. I think this is more of the same old smoke & mirrors shit that this administration has consistently pulled over the last 6 years. There are far more important issues to be debated.

I'm not even American, and I'll be following on Tuesday with just as much interest as I would our own elections here. I really hope that the US people make their voices heard with a record voter turnout.

no it what is more strange is the fact that i'm about to get some breakfast.... 2 weeks before the election. I admit that me grabbing some food to eat and the election has everything to do with the verdict. Its a conspiracy. I'm sorry

ha ha

The postponing of the verdict until today could backfire *IF* in fact it was done for US political purposes.

It brings Iraq back into the spotlight and it's a gamble if the Republicans can use it for their gain or whether it will end up losing the election for them.

Goodness you're cute when you crack a funny. And you are?

Regardless, are you implying that the delay had no political implications of any sort? Given this Administration's record of playing politics with its policy on Iraq (remember being against the war is being against the troops? Being unAmerican?), I'm sorry if I am a bit skeptical of this Administration's influence on Iraqi policy and especially this kangaroo court in specific. A little history might be needed for clarification:

On October 3rd the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal (SICT) announced that it had postponed the original verdict date of October 16 to a later date not yet specified. That date was postponed because according to the AP, the judges were "considering the possibility of recalling some witnesses." Fair enough so far.

On Oct. 16 SICT came out and stated that the verdict date was going to be postponed to November 5th. Their rationale changed from recalling more witnesses to this:

quote:

"Other court officials have said in recent days that a major reason for the delay is that after nine months of hearings, the five judges in the case have failed to reach agreement on a sentence for Mr. Hussein and appeared to be undecided between a death sentence for him or a penalty of life imprisonment." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/16/w...serland&emc=rss

So were they recalling witnesses, or were they deciding on the sentence? If there were witnesses to be recalled, and no verdict was in yet, how could there be a date laid out in certainty for a verdict in the first place? Your thoughts?

So again, my humblest apologies champ if I have a bit of a distrust on this issue or pretty much most issues pertaining to Iraq.
