Shouldn’t Hitchens want Aziz dead?...he is a Chaldean Catholic you know.
To: Leo Farnsworth
But Hitch makes an excellent point: Azziz is being excuted by a religious faction as a service to an Iranian cliche arising in Iraq.

Ah, yes, libs oppose the death penalty even for mass-murdering war criminals. But they’d put regular Joe Republicans to death in a New York second.
To: WebFocus
I don’t know the specifics of the case against Aziz. However, if they are as Hitchens describes them (his only crime being the supression of Malaki’s religious sect), then this smells and sounds like some political payback. And I would have to agree with Hitchens, lock him up and throw away the key but don’t hang him.
To: WebFocus
Don't hang Aziz! It will only make him a martyr, like it did with Saddam Hussein...
Oh, wait... Never mind!

I can think of worse problems all over the world to worry about than hanging a mass murderer for the wrong reasons.

The word ‘comrade’ doesn't signify political beliefs any more than the word 'camaraderie' which comes from the same root.

I don’t care if the conviction is for putting on a Band Aid upside down.
Hang him.
I want Dr. GERM also hanged. She is downright evil.
To: Leo Farnsworth
Mr Hitchens make a good argument and I’m inclined to agree.

Sheesh; does this mean that “commune”, “communing”, and “communicating” also have nothing to do with Communism?
I love doing these things, just to see who does or doesn't need a tag to know if they should laugh or not.
OTOH, we do factually know Hitchen's past associations, leanings, and loyalties.
