BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister on Saturday urged his countrymen to accept the impending verdict against Saddam Hussein without violence, then in the next breath declared the former dictator must get "what he deserves" with the decision that could send him to the gallows.

I don't want to dirty myself by going over to Dummieland, but please don't tell me they think Saddam should have been found not quilty???

I just copied the link to post it. Generally speaking, I tend to oppose capital punishment. Cases like this, I make an exception.

The pukes on DU will be in tears when one of their heroes dies.

Drudge actually got up for this?

Ramsey Clark should get at least a year in jail for contempt of court :o)

Anti-American Ramsey Clark will volunteer to stand in for Saddam at the hanging?

So much for the restoration of the ancien regime. Take that, John Rockefeller IV!
