    I think Stephen Colbert got it right. We basically suceeded in bringing "19th century frontier justice" to Iraq. Still beats a beheading - maybe our friends in Saudi Arabia will come around on that one someday.

    Yeah. For me it's because it really was not a fair trial according to international law as well as the whole death sentence issue, which in most civilised countries is banned (US and China excluded of course).
    I think for me it just doesn't really feel like justice to the Iraqi's. If it were a PROPER Iraqi court doing the sentencing, it would feel much more like justice. But I don't know, a lot of people over there would hate the US as much as they hate him so for this sentence to come from a US appointed court just doesn't feel right.

    in the light of the ruling could the cia be charged with helping to bring saddam into power? could rummy / the bush sr admin be also charged with selling chemical weapons to him which allowed him to gas the kurds?

    of course it wont happen... but.....
  • Thats what I was about to post lol. When does the Bush trial for war crimes start?
