Saddam Hussein Hanging LIVE Thread

[AVNevis]

Since it now seems very imminent, I decided that it was an appropriate time to start this up. Links to information and pictures (if we get them) can be posted here.

16:17 was my guess......

He must be dead but we just don't know it yet

That's what I think too. We will learn of it at a later time when all the security is in place around Baghdad.

All I have to say is, "HANG HIM NOW!!!"

LOL!!

Hi ya OWF..

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I wouldn't be surprised. Saw a news story out of Bulgaria that said the same thing...

[LowOiL]

Was that your super-secret post to close everything up at once? Nice!

Yep, that was my shotgun HTML post to close most everything on FR... I don't know why I saved it, but I did.

We will know when he dies by the tears in the Spincaster's eyes.

Trying to block execution.

And they may be successful. There is some sort of clemency clause in the re-instated Iraqi death penalty, which was immediately post CPA administration. Hence the "paperwork" issues. The mediots are not versed in the Iraqi legal system.

Hussein Rejects Hate in Goodbye Letter

Apparently the judge allowed for an appeal. Scroll to the bottom of the story.

You have a problem with JUSTICE??

You SHOULD be banned from this forum if you aren't satisfied that the deaths of thousands are finally going to be avenged.

Under what pretense could jurisdiction even be argued?

The US military is in charge of security where Saddam is being held. The fact that Iraq had legal custody of him since 2004, and likely has physical custody of him now, would have to be ignored by the random district judge if s/he wants to set Saddam free.

After this, can we have a "deathwatch party for Fidel Castro" thread?

[mathprof]

Somebody must have posted this already, but just in case:

[conservativebabe]

yeah, just don't tell harrowup about it. {rolling eyes}

[Chuck54]

Thanks for the tip.

I knew there had to be a better way and hoped someone would point it out.

[ohioWfan]

Hi! Boy, you go out for a walk and come back to 1200 posts!

This must be the happenin place. :)

[Shadowstrike]

I think he's already dead :)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Just curious, is Saddam entitled to the virgins?
