Slog - Comments on Bye-Bye, Saddam http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/byebye_saddam News outlets are reporting that Saddam Hussein will be hanged in Iraq tonight or tomorrow. The entire event, according to the Iraqi national security advisor, will be videotaped, but it's unclear whether it will be shown on Iraqi TV. I'm sure it'll be on YouTube within hours, however, for those who want to watch the ex-Iraqi dictator swing from the gallows....

"The Americans want him to be hanged respectfully,"
& the best of all

"Our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence," al-Maliki said.


Nothing shows more disrespect for human rights than NOT executing someone!

Um, and this IS going to make everying in Iraq all better, right?

Do you support the death penalty? If not, why do you make an exception for Saddam Hussein?
