BAGHDAD – Saddam Hussein's foreign minister Tariq Aziz was sentenced to death by hanging Tuesday for persecuting members of Shiite religious parties under the former regime.
Iraq's high criminal court spokesman Mohammed Abdul Sahib did not say when Aziz, 74, would be put to death. The death sentence was for a conviction on charges of taking part in a Saddam-led campaign that hunted and executed members of the Shiite Dawa Party, of which current Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is a member.

Privy to the Slaughter. An obvious Right Hand Man.
He deserves to die a painful death whatever Religion he subscribes to.
Just because you’re Christian does not make you immune.
Just because you’re Muslim does not make you a martyr.
Just because you don’t believe in the aforementioned does not mean you are exempt.
If you add them all up it equals KAOS...

Wasn’t this guy the only Christian in Saddam’s government? Yes. This death sentence is for persecuting Muslims.
He was previously convicted for the execution of the merchants, etc.
I believe he's in communion with the Vatican as a member of the Chaldean Catholic Church...remember him meeting secretly with the Pope back while we were trying to capture him?
He's also famous for criticizing the Big B.O.'s withdrawal plan.

Most of us would like to be hung, but I doubt if we’d want to be in his position.
