"Imposing the death penalty, indefensible in any case, is especially wrong after such unfair proceedings,"
Funny, Terrorist Rights Watch never said anything when Saddam sentenced innocent people to death and threw them into plastic shredders.

I goofed on the author slot again, so sorry. I think it's supposed to be New York AFP.

Imposing the death penalty, indefensible in any case... Could've stopped reading right there and known I wasn't going to agree with these wack-jobs.
To: RWB Patriot
Why is it, these "Human Rights" folks are never to be found making a stand against the mass murdering Islamists as they go about with the "ethnic cleansing" and "Allah's work".
Their credibility and value is below zero..

Human rights are - by definition - reserved for humans. Since saddam is not a human but a beast, he necessarily does not, and cannot, have these rights and therefore is not covered by them. Thus the "human rights watch" has no standing to squeal on the topic. PETA might, though.

I'm sure that the Iraqi court might be willing to make a deal if Human Rights Watch has someone in mind they would like to substitute for Saddam. But, unless Maliki goes wobbly in the knees, Hussein is gonna swing in 30 days.

How many people do you have to kill to merit a death sentence according to the "Human Rights Watch"?
I'm sure they would support a death sentence for George W. Bush if he had an overdue parking ticket.

"Imposing the death penalty, indefensible in any case, is especially wrong after such unfair proceedings," said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's international justice programme.What was unfair about it. The trial lasted more than a year, Saddam had a dozen lawyers, witnesses testified, what was unfair?

You have to be a pro-American, anti-abortion, red-blooded Conservative Republican in order for Human Rights Watch to support your execution. Typical liberal thinking.

Headline = Tell that to the hundreds of Iraqis with stiletto knife heeled shoes held high..just waiting for Saddam to come out into the open.

Because this issue is up to the President of Iraq (who usually has a largely representative role). He won't oppose the death sentence, since he already has indicated that, despite his opposiiton to the death penalty, Saddam deserves to be executed a thousand times.
To: at bay
The death warrant has to be signed by the President, and that's Talibani. Maliki is only Prime Minister.
Talabani personally opposes the death penalty in general, but he's allowed the vice-presidents to sign on his behalf for other recent executions.
I imagine great pressure will be put on him by the Ramsey Clark types in a last-ditch effort, but I'd guess he'll personally sign this one. He's a Kurd.

Human Rights Watch urged the Iraqi government not to execute Saddam Hussein,I agree. They should gently skin him alive and throw him in the ocean...

Damn, I was hoping for tomorrow. Looks like it'll be a little while longer if someone he has to sign off on it. And there's always a slim chance he'll balk out of fear of reprisals.
It'll be a great day when he is hanged. I wish they would televise it. Maybe they will since it's Iraq. I hope they have a mic that will catch that snap crackle pop and the lightening of the load. May he rot in hell.
