I will probably confess it as well - but I won't unsay it.
Know that Satan walks this earth and hates those who oppose him. See the human forms that he assumes.

Very true.
The only purpose for "trying" Saddam is to document at least some of his crimes. It should not be imagined that this is a "legal" trial; it is a war-trial, and its purpose is merely to document why Saddam must die.
Its outcome has to be a forgone conclusion. There is no way Saddam can walk free, the war against Saddam isn't over until he has stretched the end of a rope.
I suggest that sooner is better than later. He isn't giving up much information, so we don't really need him to document his crimes. The historians can do that. Unless he has something really juicy to offer, I see no reason to delay it past the week.
Do it, and do it now. The vaunted Zarqawi revenge attacks have been indistinguishable from the normal run of attacks, in fact the attacks have probably abated some. I suspect that the great revenge attack after Saddam hangs will be some poor guy blackmailed into offing himself outside a police station, and no one will notice amidst all the dancing and celebrating.
I was just thinking that myself. Even Saddam could breath a bit easier after that.
Actually it would be worth it to execute this p.o.s. instead of sAddam.
Ramsey doesn't need to worry his pretty little head, because Saddam isn't going to be getting executed any time in the near future. In fact, his mass murdering Iraqi buddy will probably end up outliving him.
Mr. Clark,
Let me see...how do I say this...how about SHUT UP!
Thank you, and have a nice day.

Tell it to the people HE put to death. I think we ought to risk it.

Existence of Muslims will provoke violence, says Infidel29.
OTOH, the execution of Ramsey Clark would not provoke violence.
So, in the interests of peace,...
"Ramses Clark"
I've heard of this creep since 1968. That's the best characterization of his name I've ever heard.
Sums up His Arrogance to a T.
(he could give arrogance lessons to Pope Mario Al-Cuomo)
Didn't folks say the same thing about Mookie whats-his-name? Executing him was supposed to make L.A. go up in flames? But they did it anyway, and guess what? There weren't even slamming doors and stomping feet that day.
"Execution of Saddam will provoke violence"
...As distinguished from......???
Just DAMN! ya beat me to it! ;o)
Well, I COULD be persuaded into Ramsey Clark stepping up and taking Saddam's place......
FYI ...

A Little Black Book

Just in case you missed it, from Jim Dunnigan at Strategy Page:
Al Qaeda in Iraq has been virtually wiped out by the loss of an address book. The death of al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi was not as important as the capture of his address book and other planning documents in the wake of the June 7th bombing. U.S. troops are trained to quickly search for names and addresses when they stage a raid, pass that data on to a special intelligence cell, which then quickly sorts out which of the addresses should be raided immediately, before the enemy there can be warned that their identity has been compromised. More information is obtained in those raids, and that generates more raids. So far, the June 7th strike has led to over 500 more raids. There have been so many raids, that there are not enough U.S. troops to handle it, and over 30 percent of the raids have been carried by Iraqi troops or police, with no U.S. involvement. Nearly a thousand terrorist suspects have been killed or captured. The amount of information captured has overwhelmed intelligence organizations in Iraq, and more translators and analysts are assisting, via satellite link, from the United States and other locations.
Got that right
