BAGHDAD — Ali Hassan Majeed, known as "Chemical Ali," is set to be executed on Tuesday for his role in the deaths of up to 180,000 Kurds, an Iraqi judge said Monday.
Munir Hadad, a senior judge of the Supreme Criminal Court, said the execution could take place anytime after 5:00 a.m. local time.

Ali has passed his sell-by date. He was legally required to be executed before now, but they delayed it due to Ramadan.
It's 6:22 am in Baghdad. They're comin' for you, Ali. Satan is looking forward to seeing you, very, very soon.
What's the hold-up? Isn't it 7:30AM in Iraq right now?
I’ve got it as 6:29 am.

Oops. You’re right. Thanks for the correction.

Another (bad) one bites the dust! ;-)
Snaps! (literally)
THANK ME!
(now if we could only get OBL, Mookie Al Sadr, Al Zawahiri, that Gadahn fool, and these folks who are trying to turn one of our current allies (Turkey) into an enemy...)
Get out the Popcorn!!
Well, hopefully the Iraqi government can be more somber and professional about it than they were with Saddam. As much as he deserved the death penalty the way it was conducted was a travesty.
I agree...It's a shame they didn't gas and rape him like he did his own people.
Ah, two cents from the “hangin’s too good for him” crowd.
I hope they don’t tie his feet, when the video gets leaked I want to see that ... thing dance.
hmm...it's 11:51 EST...tick tock tick tock...
he should be getting close to alluh pretty soon.
But why is they mad at me? I isn't done nothing bro'.
I’m with your former governor and current President on this one:
Saddam’s execution like a revenge killing says Bush
GEORGE BUSH has said the chaotic execution of Saddam Hussein looked like “kind of a revenge killing” and showed that the Iraqi government “has still got some maturation to do”.
In his toughest assessment yet of the row over the Iraqi leader’s execution, Mr Bush criticised the circumstances of Saddam’s hanging and the execution of two top aides, including Saddam’s half brother.
“I was disappointed and felt like they fumbled - particularly the Saddam Hussein execution,” the President said.
Mr Bush said he had expressed disappointment to Iraq’s prime minister Nouri Maliki about the way Saddam’s execution was handled.
“The message is that it’s a confusing message,” the president said. “It basically says to people . . . you conducted a trial and gave Saddam justice that he didn’t give to others. But then, when it came to executing him, it looked like it was kind of a revenge killing.”
Wow! It’s nice to meet people who are even sicker and more medieval than me.
Or run him through the shredder.He should get what he gave.
