Court Upholds Death Penalty for Hussein
New York Times ^ | 26 December 2006 | Christine Hauser

An Iraqi appeals court today upheld a death sentence for Saddam Hussein in a decision that could clear the way for Mr. Hussein’s execution within 30 days, Iraqi officials told news agencies.

The announcement came today as at least 20 people were killed and dozens were injured in bomb and mortar attacks in the capital.

The court was reviewing a Nov. 5 verdict in which Mr. Hussein and two of his top associates, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad al-Bandar, were sentenced to “death by hanging” for their involvement in the arrest and killing of 148 Shiite men and boys in the town of Dujail in 1982.

The sooner the better. The Baathists and Sunnis are about to lose their leader. Finding another despot will not be easy. There will be many candidates but none of whom will have enough terror capability to submerge the rest. Bet on the Islamacists taking over the insurgency.

Hopefully, formerly perky, Katie Couric will have time to get her black outfit back from the cleaners for that event.

Wouldn't it be interesting at his present trial, the Judge not notified yet of Saddam's execution.:

Judge: "Where are the defendants?"
Guards: "He's hanging around here somewhere, your Honor."

Wolf Blitzer doesn't have a shirttail long enough to soak up all the tears he'll be shedding.

Hang him by the lower neck [i.e. by the appendages]. Use broad elastic ribbon instead of a rope, so it does not cut in, and do not use the drop but lower him kindly and gently.

(singing) G-d rest ye terrorist gentlemen,
On a stout rope you sway,
Remember the blood of Iraqi folk,
Will be redeemed that day,
By Satan's power you ascended
To a throne on which you played,
Ooo-ooo tidings of rightous revenge,
Rightous revenge,
Ooo-ooo tidings of rightous revenge!

My husband, Vietnam veteran that he is, said the US Army should have just shot Hussein when they had the chance!
