(CNN) -- Iraqi authorities executed 11 prisoners on Sunday after they were convicted of terrorism, Iraq's Ministry of Justice said in a statement.
"They had carried out killings and explosions against Iraqi people," the ministry said.

some countries don't mess around...I don't think they spent too much money on legal fee's.

How do you know they are Muslim? The article does not indicate they are Muslim.

I mean, there were Shi'ite and Kurdish insurgents working to overthrow the Hussein regime by violence who were dealt with swiftly... why weren't we cheering back then?
Hail, Hail!!!
because under Saddam it was the govt that were the terrorists and killing innocents, now the govt. petitioned to do the justice TO the terrorists! GOT IT?
A man that stands for nothing....will fall for anything!
All people need to do more on every level!
So when Saddam was in power these people weren't terrorists, they were freedom fighters, but now that Saddam is gone they are terrorists?
Interesting logic you have there my friend.
Tell you what... get back to me after the Iranian influence in Iraq has kicked in and the Shi'ites of Muqtada Al Sadr run the show.
Hail, Hail!!!
It's made more complicated in this particular instance because, to even begin the discussion, we have to assume that the trials were fair and that the executed prisoners did in fact kill their countrymen via IEDs and etc.
That said, I don't think it's fair to characterize "carrying out killings and explosions against the Iraqi people" as simply "undermin[ing] the authority of the Iraqi government". Nor were Saddam's atrocities against his own people the only reason some folks were pushing for a war in Iraq. And finally, by most measures, the manner in which Saddam dealt with Kurdish unrest was a far sight worse (if memory serves, gassing 1000's?) than how the current Iraqi gov't is dealing with these "terrorists", even if it is still not satisfactory to some.

Thanx. That was the main point of my comments... perspective. George Washington lead a rebellion against the established form of government... and would have been executed, had the war gone the other way. Now, before my FOX News watching friends jump on that statement... I am NOT comparing Washington to Saddam Hussein. Just pointing out that the perspective of each leader is different, depending on where your sit.
In Iraq, the Shi'ite majority is now in power. What makes them, crushing a rebellion by Sunnis, different from Saddam's Sunni minority crushing the Shi'ite and Kurdish rebels in the past?
Hail, Hail!!!
Agreed. I'm glad they don't HAVE chemical weapons, too... because, in my personal opinion, they would eventually find some reason to use them.
Point being... whoever is in charge over there... someone's gonna get a major ass kicking. I just cannot envision a merciful Shi'ite power who had been brutalized by the minority Sunni taskmasters for almost 5 decades. Somehow... they just don't strike me as a 'Let bygones be bygones' kind of folk.
But, that's probably just me.
Hail, Hail!!!
