FORMER Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging after being found guilty of crimes against humanity at his trial in Baghdad.Following the breaking story on FoxNews and CNN, Iraq security forces are bracing for violence when the sentences are read to the people. Other developments:
- Ramsey Clark was booted from the courtroom at the beginning of the proceeding.Developing ...- Saddam went on a tirade after the sentence was read saying "God is great" and "Death to the enemies." He was removed from the court room after babbling about the judges and the court being agents for the occupation.
- Two co-defendants were also sentenced to be executed.
- Sporadic celebratory gunfire has started in Baghdad.
- Iraqi forces have initiated a travel lockdown in the provinces.
- Court session ended for the day.
[Update 0600 EST]
From EITB24.com:
Clashes immediately broke out in north Baghdad's heavily Sunni Azamiyah district where police were battling men with machine guns. His half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of the former Revolutionary Court, were sentenced to join Saddam on the gallows.Also, shortly after the sentence was imposed on Saddam, he was scooted out of the court room and away from cameras. The court wanted to minimize the amount of video footage available for use by Saddam's supporters.
Chief Judge Raouf Adbul-Rahman presided over the proceeding.

They won't execute him right away. They need him to stay alive to continue the other cases against him. If he is executed then all charges against him in the other cases are dropped (Iraqi law). The Iraqis don't want that. They want him to face all charges and be proven in a court of law to be the murdering dictator he was. So sit back, be patient and wait until all the cases are processed, all the victims maybe get a little justice and closure on the pain and suffering they've been subjected to by this tyrant and then the world will watch him die. Personally, I think any Iraqi that has had their life or family's life affected by Saddam's brutal reign should get to smack him with a shoe before he is executed.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. In fact, I think that should apply here as well. If somebody is guilty of a heinous crime and sentenced to death, then the family should be allowed to have at the person in any manner they wish. If it happens to kill him then it saves taxpayers the cost of an execution.

And with Saddam's death will die the last hope of stabilizing Iraq.
Returning him to power would do more to stabilize Iraq, than hanging him.

Give it up, CafeenMan -
On this site, you are a liar, even when you agree with them.
In their little delusional world, you are either with them or against them.
They get really suspicious when you agree with them, unless you happen to be some dumb fuck member of their in crowd, like Jeff Barfholts or GayBooster.
They already have you pegged as a left wing commie pinko, unlike moi, who is well respected and loved , by all who post, here.

No doubt Ramsey Clark, Seymour Hersh and Code Pink are right-wingers. Next you'll tell me that you're a conservative who supports the death penalty.

I don't know who any of those people are. What are they outraged about? Be specific please. Is it just that they're anti death penalty or do they actually embrace Saddam. Feel free to provide some links or quotes or something.
I'm not sure what a conservative is. Apparently there aren't any real conservatives. Most people who claim to be conservative aren't conservative at all (per the conservative philosophy/manifesto). They are actually right wing assholes.
And yes, I do support the death penalty as long as there is no doubt that the person is actually guilty. I'll go one farther on that. I think the victim's family should have the right to torture that person and keep him alive for only the purpose of torturing him further.
You guys still haven't figured out that just because a person recognizes Bush's incompetence and corruption doesn't mean that they're liberal.

Mohammed Azawi Ali was surprisingly found not guilty and released immediately. He is currently on trial for a kurd massacre.

They changed the law. They will still try him in absentia after he's been executed. Caliphate News Network said he has to be executed within 30 days of the finalization of the verdict.

Actually, I'm a "I wish we had a competenent governmentist." I don't care if our government is liberal, conservative, right wing or druids as long as they are solving more problems than they create and they aren't going around destroying stuff and killing people.

I don't think they should hang him, but rather, build a prison just for
him, maybe a tower high over Baghdad, where he can live the rest of his
days watching the people he brutalized go about their lives from his
small window.

Cafeebman:
You obviously don't know the definition of "liberal," "conservative" or "right-winger." Your ignorance of Clark, Hersh, and Code Pink is likewise nothing to brag about. Clark is featured in this very story. You know--the story you're commenting on? Hersh is featured in other stories at this blog (stories you've probably commented on,) and Code Pink is not a person.
If you think the left isn't crying over Hussein's death sentence, you're a fucking idiot. But then, we already knew that.
If you want links to moonbat sites, ask one of the moonbats here. No doubt if I were to provide links to this or that, you would transform into an honest and rationable commentator. Right. And you're not a left-wing loon, even though you take the left's position on every issue except Hussein's death sentence.

Typical liberal. Ill-informed. No sense of personal responsibility. Looking for someone else to do the work for him.

Now the moonbats want to hang those who made it possable for the Iraqis to hang Saddam. Hang the hangers, so to speak. It reminded me of a song by Max Webster titled Battlescar. The BBC wont post it on their "Have your Say" in reply to all those they 100 posts that want to hang Bush, Rummy & Cheney, and the liberal blog I visit keeps deleting it so here you go.

I wish I could draw this cartoon:
Bush, Cheney, Rummy and Rice are watching the Iraqis putting Saddams head in a noose. And standing behind them are Kofi Anon, Jaques Chirack, John Kerry and Nancy Pelosie all holding nooses, not looking to see the Iraqis hang Saddam, but looking at the presedent and his staff. Chirack gets Bush, Kofi gets Cheney, Kerry gets Rummy and pelosie gets Rice.

I was saddened to see JFK's 04 adviser and well educated friend Ramsey Clark get booted from the court. Guess he needs to go back to school and study hard to get smarter. What a pity. Heartbroken.

It is remarkable that Saddam has been sentenced for a crime he committed in 1982, at a time when the USA was more than eager to provide support to Saddam Hussein's regime and was complicit in some of his crimes. As usual, this fact has not even been mentioned by our amnesiac media. Donald Rumsfeld, the incarnation of this administration's moral bankruptcy, went to Baghdad shaking hands with Saddam, on December 20, 1983 (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/).
At that time, Rumsfeld knew that Saddam was a dangerous dictator (contrary to 2003, when he wasn't dangerous any more). He knew about the 1982 massacre that has now been recognized as a "crime against humanity". Donald Rumsfeld knew that Saddam had ordered the use of chemical weapons against Iran in breach of the Geneva conventions (contrary to 2003, when Rumsfeld knew exactly that there were no chemical weapons). And he went to Baghdad in 1983, shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, offering him the support of the United States. That's the story that will be told in the history book.

Piglet:
And the Idiot Quotient spikes again! They can put Rummie's picture next to Roosevelt lip-locking with Stalin. Only difference is that the US only offered small arms to Saddam, who used them against the psychotic forces of the Iranian Mullahs. Uncle Joe used his aid to stab America in the back, and inflict 50 years of commie savagery on the world. Unlike Roosevelt/Truman, Rummy/Bush used Saddam then swept him aside.
Wait for the doors to open before you step off the short bus, retard. That first step hurts when the bus is still moving.
