My understanding was that the transfer to IRAQI custody was to be a PAPER transfer only, and he would remain in the physical custody of the US, until dead man walking time...I believe I read that on a FReep thread yesterday. It makes sense, too.
Good Grief!
Nah, I still go with intentional confusion designed to throw off those who would try to free Saddam. My money is still on him being dead by tomorrow.
The "host on the sun" thing is an old FReeperism before your time. Sorta like the moose, cheese, shower thing. :)
Saw that movie in elementary school. That shows how old I am.
He's have to be the Hangin' Oak in downtown EveryTown, Texas.
On CNN they were discussing if President Bush could commute his sentence *L*
Likely they will hang him Friday night (Iraq time) before the holiday.
I'm betting he's already been elongated.
thanks!
>>Sunset at 5:04 PM
with the 8 hr time diff., this is why they were saying on the news last night that sunset in Bag. is 9 am ET and supposedly he is to be executed by then.
Religious leaders.
Maybe the dead Sadaam is in US custody.
Great point.
Yeah, actually. Right down to the kind of rope that's used apparently. Snort.
It's Iraqi Business--Iraq put him on trial, Iraq passed judgement and Iraq will carry out the sentence.
It ceased to be Friday on the Muslim calendar at sunset. They consider it to be Saturday there right now, even if we don't say it's Saturday there for another couple hours.
Someone mentioned there might be a legal difficulty in the U.S. handing off a prisoner of war to be executed by a third party. I hope the delay isn't because of something like that.
The Fox internet news stream is up and running but no sound and a blank screen. If it is not running, as is usually the case, you can not even connect and get a timeout after awhile. If some really important Breaking News occurs it usually is activated, including for Presidential speeches and press conferences.

Hubby just said the he will never be out of US custody....they will remain with him until he is dead!
It's 9:18 in Iraq. Do you know where your tyrant is?
Prepare the rope for action!
Yes & the Dems leadership. They want to put Saddam back in power & then cut & run from Iraq.
