CNN is interviewing one of Hussein's lawyers: he's saying that if Hussein gets executed despite a restraining order by a U.S. federal judge, Bush could go to jail for contempt of court and/or be impeached LMFAO! Since America has not had legal control over Saddam since before the trial, than that argument is moot. We only have security control, which was requested by the Iraqi government.
He's just a kook liberal blowhard using this event for his own personal Bush hate-speech. Slimebag.

I suppose ol' TGS will be soon be claiming it's a Saddam double that's being hanged ;)

Thesis
Saddam Hussein is the author of 9/11. The anthrax letters were threats from his SSO; the aim was to deter finger pointing and retaliation. Bush has always known this. The Samson Option affords Saddam personal security, necessitating secrecy and subterfuge in the response to the WTC attack. This situation recapitulates the Gulf War, but with the ante upped all around. We are in this place because of the 'noble lies' told the public at the end of that conflict. The window dressing this time includes equivocation over Iraq's links to 9/11, the pro forma 'decapitation strikes' of the war, exaggerated rhetorical emphasis on third-tier non-state actors like Bin Laden and Zarqawi, and above all the FBI's Operation Amerithrax. Far from being the anthrax killer, biodefense insider and acknowledged leg-puller Steve Hatfill is a willing fall guy in a diversion staged to paper over an unvoicable reality.

I find two things about tonight quite shocking.
First, neither on DU or Daily Kos could I find any major post on the impending hanging of Saddam. Must be some sort of mourning they are going through.
Second, it is apparent no one working for the President has ever read Elias Canetti's book Crowds And Power." If they had they would not be as concerned about of a counter-revolutionary outbreak of violence. Something to watch for but what is more likely is the Saddam loyalists will now flounder and look for another leader. Canetti postulated that crowds to continue had to have what he called "crowd crystals" (not a good term) to maintain the belief and cohesiveness of the crowd.
Saddam ruled by terror. His beneficiaries were few and they were terrified as well. Machiavelli was right in saying if you had to choose between love and fear--choose fear because it is more constant; however, you do need "crowd crystals" when you are gone if your message and faith are to continue. Saddam was surely not a person could easily love and treasure.
Saddam's legacy will be a failed leader with few remaining followers. Not to worry. This is the best thing, psychologically speaking, that could happen. It is hard to die for nothing and that is what he is leaving behind.

Here's how CNN.com wants us to view the President right now....scared and running for cover.

Did some judge issue a restraining order? On what authority? American judges are claiming jurisdiction in Iraqi legal procedings? I think under the theory that until we hand him over to the Iraqis, he is a prisoner of war, and we can't allow him to be executed as a technical enemy combatant. Unlike the terrorists, he was a head of state. It's actually an interesting legal question for scholars. He is technically our prisoner, does the Iraqi government have international authority to have him. It's moot. He is getting hanged, but my bet this is what the legal argument is about.
To: Loyalist
That restraining order, if it does come, would have to have come before the point in 2004 that Iraq took legal custody of Saddam.

Naaa, the CNN reporter probably fed that misinformation to the dumb ass lawyer.
I personally think Osama Bedlinen has been dead for quite awhile. But if he is still breathing, I hope he has an HDTV.
