Dead is dead.

It appears that Clinton Hammond wants to shoot the hangman.

Go figure.

A U.S. puppet government gets to execute a former U.S. puppet.

So where is bin Laden?

ha, Clinton. From what you've said before you'd do the same for just about any one of us. Nothing personal. :)

...and ask questions (about the repercussions) later, no doubt. yep, that's true to form. The border with the USA is quite permeable obviously, and attitudes cross over freely.

Obviously starting as they mean to go on. When Nelson Mandela took control, he did away with capital punishment - showing that there had been enough of that already.

If only they had someone of Mandela's moral stature to lead the nation.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's High Tribunal on Sunday found Saddam Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to hang for the 1982 killing of 148 Shiites in the city of Dujail. The visibly shaken former leader shouted "God is great!"

Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of the former Revolutionary Court, were sentenced to join Saddam on the gallows for the Dujail killings after an unsuccessful assassination attempt during a Saddam visit to the city 35 miles north of Baghdad.

The death sentences automatically go to a nine-judge appeals panel which has unlimited time to review the case. If the verdicts and sentences are upheld, the executions must be carried out within 30 days.
