Iraqi authorities hanged 27 convicted "terrorists" on Wednesday, the interior ministry announced.
"Twenty-seven terrorists were hanged today in Baghdad. Most of them were Iraqis," interior ministry spokesman Abdul Karim Khalaf told AFP.
The authorities reinstated the death penalty which was abolished after the US-led invasion of March 2003.

Hang 'em, Danno!
mess with a muslem here and it may soon be you who are hanged high ! your president couldn't even call them what they are . He changed his tune to a nicer version .
No, you only get 72 allah-nuggies for being hanged for terrorism. Go stand in the corner and recite a thousand times:
"Dirka Dirka, Muhammed Jihad"
Not in the slightest.
By Iraqis I assume you meant the legitimately elected government, not the rebels.
Clarity.
Says "reporters"
Had the same thought.
Liberals are so "pathetic."
Let us hope, it is three years past time for the sob to meet his 72 virgins.
Not if we see them coming. Remember, we still have the Second Amendment and we aren't afraid to use it, ma'am.
"As you know, in the process of freeing the Iraqi people from the clutches of a madman, we have captured many dangerous enemy combatants who were operating outside the Geneva Convention and the Rules of War. We have been holding them in safe places including Club Gitmo. Now that the people of Iraq have established a functioning government, as indicated by their hanging of 27 criminals, we feel it is time to turn over to them the prisoners captured on their territory. May God have mercy on their souls."How many spontaneous confessions and pleas for asylum would we get?
Correct. As in "Iraq hangs...". As in "after trial".
No vigilantism. By law.
... the sentence of the Court upon you is, that you be taken from this place to a lawful prison, and thence to a place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you are dead; and that your body be afterwards buried within the precincts of the prison in which you shall have been confined before your execution. And may the Lord have mercy upon your soul.
21st century public hanging = pay per view
Reminds me a few years ago when I was visiting my parents out on Long Island (I live in New York city)...I had to make a transfer from one train to the other at one point, and while waiting for the next train, I bought a copy of Newsday, which is primarily a Long Island newspaper. On about the 2nd or 3rd page, they had an article about an US Iraq war vet who was returning home to his family on Long Island after losing his foot from an IED. Newsday saw it fit to put as the headlines..
Long Island "hero" returns home.
Now just think about that....Here is this guy who will probably need some kind of assistance to walk for the rest of his life, yet he is proud of what he did, he is proud of his service, and naturally he will want to save mementos of that service. Yet here comes the absolute gall of this F-ING sh*trag "Newsday" questioning right off the bat whether he is a hero or not. This is just like Vietnam, it`s unreal. All the returning Vets being spit on and kicked, it makes me sick to my guts!
Why the quote marks? Do these same journalists talk about Democratic "Congressmen"?
Because one mans "terrorist" is another Democrats "freedom fighter"
I'm not sure what your point is. That we can't make any progress against the terrorist networks until we catch and kill bin Laden?
Because if that's your point, that's absurd.
We need to start using quotes around the term "Democrat"...
My point was that Saddam reamins alive three years after his capture.
