Whether or not they proceed with them remains to be seen, I suppose.
Great news! I haven't had the TV on yet this morning and so hadn't heard.

Nothing like the promise of a good hanging to bring people out to pull the lever in the voting booth.
You are right about that!!
I bet there are a lot of Iraqis who are afraid of fully and openly supporting Democracy because they fear Sadam being restored to power one day and retaliating against them. I think the sooner we get rid of Sadam and his evil regime, the sooner all these fearful Iraqis will be more eager to join in the cause for freedom.
Ditto that! Why wait any longer- no appeals are necessary or warranted. Time to pay the piper.
What you mean he won't get nearly two decades of appeals while he waits on death row? I'm saddened...deeply saddened. /sarcasm
I think Cab Calloway said it best
You Rascal, You
Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, recorded September 23, 1931.
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
When they bury you six feet deep
No more fried chicken can you eat,
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be oh, so glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be standing on a corner full of gin
When they bring your dead body in,
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be oh, so glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be oh, so glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I took you to my home,
You wouldn't leave my wife alone.
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, oh, you hound!
I'll be oh, so glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
I'll be oh, so glad when you dead, you rascal, you.
What's this thing you got
Makes my wife think you're so hot? You dirty dog!
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, oh, you hound!
Do they plan to sell tickets ?
I was watching the sentence being announced on TV this morning and there was this guy (from the defense team I guess) protesting to the judge that someone else in the courtroom is laughing and 'chewing gum'. The judge had to pause for a moment. I couldn't help but to laugh. There is this historic moment with the judge reading the sentence, and someone interrupts him to complain about a chewing gum!
That's not justice...Where's the 15-20 years of appeals???
Before the session began, one of Saddam's lawyers, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, was ejected from the courtroom after handing the judge a memorandum in which he called the trial a travesty.
Chief Judge Raouf Abdul-Rahman pointed to Clark and said in English, "Get out."
Bhwhahahahaahah!
Hanging With The Stars
Is he going to the huki-lau?
Pray for this poor soul's soul.
