Saddam deputy loses final appeal
Former Iraqi Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan has lost his appeal against a death sentence for killing Shia Muslims in the 1980s.
Ramadan was sentenced to hang after an appeal by the Iraqi High Tribunal, which previously jailed him for life.
He was tried alongside former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein over the killing of 148 Shias in the village of Dujail.
Under Iraqi law he must follow Saddam Hussein to the gallows within 30 days of the appeals process being exhausted.

I hope the Iraqis get some competent instruction in hanging this time around. They've been doing a sophomoric job of it so far.

Its too bad we dont have that 30 day limit on our death sentences. The jails wouldnt be so full of dath row criminals and the expense would go way down.

The thing I like most about these trials is that the appeals process is over in one tenth the time it takes in the US.

Well, that's nice. I used to love to swing when I was a kid.
What's that? He's going to swing from his neck?
That doesn't sound like much fun... for him anyway. I understand the Iraqi population is already popping corn for the show.
Tell Allah to expect company.

I meant stretching Saddam's neck about a foot, and ripping another guy's head right off his body.
It's bad PR for hanging.

I wish appeals courts in this country could change life sentences to death sentences.

I hope he doesn't lose his head over the conviction.
