Saddam sentenced to death

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town, as the ousted leader, trembling and defiant, shouted "God is great!"...

As he, his half brother and another senior official in his regime were convicted and sentenced to death by the Iraqi High Tribunal, Saddam yelled out, "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!"...

The trial brought Saddam and his co-defendants before their accusers in what was one of the most highly publicized and heavily reported trials of its kind since the Nuremberg tribunals for members of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime and its slaughter of 6 million Jews in the World War II Holocaust...

Saddam and his seven co-defendants were on trial for a wave of revenge killings carried out in the city of Dujail following a 1982 assassination attempt on the former dictator. Al-Maliki's Islamic Dawa party, then an underground opposition, has claimed responsibility for organizing the attempt on Saddam's life....

To Saddam: Rest In Peace

... oh really now, and how about Bush's invasion to Iraq ?? Isn't that an act of a dictator ?? He should also be tried for crime against humanity.

.. But this is better for Saddam, instant death than being sentenced to jail. Rest in Peace.

the pedestrians outside the courthouse seemed very happy about it...
however...i don't believe in death penalty...
even though saying that would mean i'm siding with a murderous tyrant...

It doesn't matter. Even if they hang him a thousand times, violence in Iraq would go on. Si Saddam ray naka control sa mga trouble makers sa Iraq. America didn't.

yeah..murag saddam is the thorn that bush wants to eradicate pero siya ra pud naay control...tsk tsk tsk i think the iraqi supreme court won't push thru with hangin him...

read sa article "The death sentences automatically go to a nine-judge appeals panel, which has unlimited time to review the case. If the verdicts and sentences are upheld, the executions must be carried out within 30 days"

take note : unlimited time =)
