Saddam Will Get His


Saddam Hussein’s time is running out. Soon the world may have closure for the evil deeds committed by Sodomy Hussein and his Baathist regime. Iraqi leaders have set up a tribunal of judges and prosecutors to try ousted dictator Saddam Hussein and other members of his Baathist regime. The tribunal will be headed by Salem Chalabi, a U.S.-educated lawyer and nephew of the head of the Iraqi National Congress. He has appointed a panel of seven judges and four prosecutors. Together with a 2004-2005 budget of $75 million they will charge and punish the former dictator.

My sole disappointment in this is knowing that even with a budget of $75 million and a well trained legal team Saddam will likely not face the death penalty. The newly adopted constitution in Iraq has made the death penalty illegal. I know that Saddam will likely never see the light of day, but it is disheartening to know that he will also probably have the opportunity to live the rest of his life (even if it is in captivity).

I would love to see Saddam get what he so richly deserves. In a perfect world he would be sentenced to repeated public ass raping (one for every rape that occurred in his name). I also think that he should spend the rest of his living days being led from hut to hut so that the Iraqi people can tell him how they really “feel”. There are a million more torturous punishments that he should endure. But then, maybe that is why I am not in charge of this tribunal.

DEATH TO SADDAM

The major problem of a Saddam Hussain alive in prison is that he becomes a rallying point for others, and would be the impetus(sp) for potential for hostage taking to gain his release.

My hope is that either he makes a bid (unsuccessfully, of course) for escape which results in his demise, or commits a jailhouse suicide. That could save some lives down the road.

I agree, it's a no-win situation. Just trying to imagine some kind of orderly "trial" boggles the mind because I have a feeling that every person in Iraq will want to confront Soddom Insane personally. And loudly. The courthouse will be chaos to the max. I hope they don't try to stage this until the country as a whole in under some kind of control. His family already has hired an attorney to defend him! And/or what's to stop terrorists from blowing the building up, thereby making him a martyr? Annnd by the way, the concept of the death penalty being illegal in Iraq is almost laughable, isn't it? Death is a way of life in the ME. Kinda makes ya crazy to think about it all.

Ah hindsight, if that soldier had only dropped an M26 in Saddam's spiderhole the problem would have been resolved. What kind of person is a lawyer that wants to represent this butcher? Turn him over to the people of Iraq, preferably the Kurds. Whatever happens the U.S. gets blamed anyway.

If memory serves, it is a FRENCH lawyer known for defending Nazis after WWII .. need I say more? ;-)

It only figures in the grand scheme of things that it would be a French dirtbag that would be willing to defend Sodomy Insane
