"Another concern is the death penalty," Shoueiry said. "He should be punished for his crimes, but the death penalty is not included. That goes without saying."

Earth to Nicole, it's not your call.

I agree they should not execute Saddam. Not until everyone who has lost family members or has been tortured in his chambers has the opportunity to personally repay him.

[Guillermo]

Wow, I'm so surprised...

[Hodar]

I like the way you think.

[tet68]

Pathetic aren't they.

Put him in the center of town in a cage (guarded of coarse) and let the Iraqi people have at him. He'll be begging for death

[Tax Government]

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International: 1) are not governments; 2) did nothing to liberate Iraq; 3) are complaining about trivia; 4) have no right to say whether or not the death penalty is applied; 5) have no standing to say that the current process or interim government is [il]legitimate.

In short, those orgs should retreat to their plush-carpeted offices and fund-raisers.

And so it begins...

The waiting line would stretch to Kuwait.

"It's ... important that the trial is not perceived as vengeful justice," said Kenneth Roth, the group's executive director.

.....and the reason for this would be....................?

This is so ridiculous it reads like satire. Some of these people are seriously deranged.

Sell tickets..longest running show in Baghdad

Okay, so don't execute him. How about skinning him alive for beginners?

How about dangling his arms in that plastic shredding machine his son was fond of?

"Another concern is the death penalty,"

There is no death penalty in the new Iraq. An exception would have to made for Saddam and I don't see that happening.

Here's hoping that Saddam get's the hangman's noose and AI is told to bugger-off!

[Salvey]

The freaks in Amn. Int'l want him kept alive so that he can continue to foment more death and destruction from his cell.

How ya gonna make us, Shoueiry? How many divisions do you have?

To answer for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Kuwaitis and Kurds butchered by orders from this man, death by execution can be the only way to make him pay for his crimes.

I am surprised that Peta is not taking up Saddam's
part as he is inhuman.
