Create a circus and maybe it will go away

There must be some kind of drug that would make his death look like it was from natural causes.

<< Saddam Hussein Removed From Court Room >>

Keep the bastard out, [Unless he is shackled and gagged] try him in his absence, sentence him - and execute the sentence.

And then try his "lawyers."

[CarrotAndStick]

If this keeps getting dragged on like it's going to take forever to try that excuse-of-a-human being Saddam, the average Iraqi will start losing confidence in the civil judicial system, and start looking toward the mullah-run Islamic Sharia as a "means of justice". That would be dangerous.

[cantweall]

Sure'd be nice if Iraq took a pointer from Romania on the trial of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife. Short trial, and then afterwards, instead of leading back to their cell as they thought, led them to - surprise - an awaiting firing squad.

[RobFromGa]

Just execute him and be done with it.

[mcshot]

Using hindsight I bet most wish a grenade had been dropped into his pit before they pulled him out. Doesn't sound like he's been a wealth of information and that seems his only value.

Just kill the guy already.

"The Islamic new year is approaching, but its exact date depends on the sighting of a new moon to start the lunar month "

SO WHAT !!?
What a PC bs.....

[A.Hun]

The Iraqis are treating this as the ultimate reality TV, and if this is the Kurdish judge...Saddam is not going to be running the proceedings as he was!

As long as this drags on, the Iraqis and other arabs are reminded what an evil madman he was. This is a good thing.

I believe the ultimate outcome is Saddam dancing at the end of a rope. I hope they televise that too.

[quantim]

I say turn him loose. Into a pack of Kurds and Shiites.

[nmh]

He can't stand to hear the truth about himself, so like other cowards he tries to distract.

Funny how these villians are such cowards. Hitler in his bunker and this creep in his foxhole. Both are cowards. Insane deserves death as soon as possible. This is a waste of people's time. It's a circus.

[goresalooza]

Saddam should be forced to be bound up and placed in a strait-jacket and muzzled like they did with Hannibal Lecter. Also, his entire legal team should be forced to live with and be imprisoned with him. Until they play fair they should be incarcerated.

Either that or let the Iraqis beat them all to death with their shoes.

[Enduring Freedom]

Geez, great defence Saddam.

Go nuts in court and assert your authority over the court.

Freepers, hard to imagine him as a violent, aggressive despot, isn't it?

[SQUID]

Should have just shot him in the hole they found him in. End of story.

[F16Fighter]

Poor guy...(somebody give him a bag of Doritos and a blindfold.)

[FreeAtlanta]

Saddam was removed from the court room and shot in the plastic covered hallway.

[FreeAtlanta]

" its exact date depends on the sighting of a new moon to start the lunar month."

This isn't a good way to run a modern nation.

[fightu4it]

Why did we take this clown prisoner? We should have shot him when he spat on the soldier who found him!

[aculeus]

Bind and gag him and keep him in the room.

They must break this man's image of power.

[Hoodlum91]

Should've dropped a grenade in the spider hole.
