<< Just out of curiosity, how many Iraqis so far have been executed for war crimes?

The answer ... Zero

We don't fight wars to win like we used to. >>

And we had better learn to with this enemy -- as had Israel -- or we shall all die -- and our Judeo-Christian/Western [IE 'Human'] Civilization with US.

"Saddam Hussein plans to take legal action after a British newspaper published photos of him half-naked in his prison cell and doing his washing. "We will sue the newspaper and everyone who helped in showing these pictures," said Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer Ziad Al-Khasawneh, speaking from Jordan."

Legal action? He'll probably be swinging from a rope before this issue ever gets a court date.

***Enter Stage Left - the ACLU! (maybe...)
But not husseling for civil rights and victim rights of the thousands raped and murdered by Saddam, his regime, and his sons.

Saddam looks in excellent health and shape for his 68 yrs.
No torture and lash marks and his head hasn't been rudely removed from his body.

Put him back in his 'spider hole' and roll in a WP grenade.

If we executed him tomorrow could he still sue?

Droopy Drawers' "torture,"

LOL ... first there were the infamous undies on the head at Abu Grab, and now undies lead the MSM breaking news once again. This will go down in history as the "Undies War". Damn ... and I just sold my Fruit of the Loom stock last week.

I believe the decision was made to allow the new Iraqi government to deal with that issue. I might be mistaken, but I don't think their justice system is expected to be entirely up and running for awhile yet. It will be interesting to see how things progress though.

Well, all the Iraqis he had tortured and the families of Iraqis he had executed should come out and sue him. What's a little skin compared to all the bodies he had gruesomely desecrated and violated? Let's see if that lawyer of his can handle all of that.

"How 'bout launching an investigation as to why some pervert took the photos in the first place."

As always, follow the money....

And our men and women are being killed daily... it seem like we have an organized group wanting more war and not giving a fig about human dignity... first the Newsweek article.. and now the Saddam photo... I am certainly not a fan of either Saddam or of the scum in our war detention cells.. but America stands for dignity and respect for human beings... I am simply sick over our response to these journalist productions... I know that on this blog I will stand alone... but I think America is better than what our press presents...

Since I'm living in France and I don't speak all that much French I get most of my entertainment ont he internet. Yesterday I was reading about all these protests all over the world, which got started becasue of the Newswek debacle. I wish new Yorkers would get together and hold a big HUGE protests outside the embassies fo the countries where the protests are going on and hold up big signboards of WTC buring!

I read on FR yesterday, that I think it was the king of Saudia Arabia who said, "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but I msut admit all terrorists are Muslims" When I see the anti American ralleys and protests by Muslims around the world holding up their Koran's I whish to remind them of what (I think it was hime) the King of Saudia Arabia said. I am starting to finally believe that the world is coming to a Holy War. Just lately I ahve become convinced, Before this I was not ready to paint a broad brush against the Muslim Religion. But seein those Koran's held up as they burned the American and British flags, I think Bush is right. The world, and to insure our safety and freedom, needs to see democracy created in more of these Muslim countries with governments uilt on human rights for all people, not based on religion.

I think the underpants photo is going to explode. I live next to Marseille France which has the largest concentration and population of muslims outside a muslim country. I wonder what the next few days will be like? I dont't think the underpants photo is going to play out all that well in the world.

Saddam is going to sue for damages and distress? Welcome to Bizarro World.
