<Saddam> Can I getta R3? =\ I got <Choke>'d

[Anyway]

Haha, all of the genocide he did and he got sentenced to death for the killing of a small group of peasants

Capone got nailed for tax evasion.

[Neometalrain]

Finally he's getting what that bastard deserves. Whether or not it will be televised over television. I'm sure it will spread over the internet like wildfire.

qft

And America is the only country that cares about "humane" executions...the other uncivilized countries hang/shoot their executees.

[Lawls]

Firing squad is the way to die for a true hero, not some sissy hanging.

[Totien]

Why haven't you been banned yet?

[Demenicold]

Nice coincidence that his hanging will be around the same time as the Midterm Elections.

It's all a fucking charade.

how do you figure it will be around midterm election? The case automaticaly goes to a 9 judge appeal panel and they have an UNLIMITED time to review the case, THEN if they decide he's still guilty he has to be hung within 30 days.

[Lawls]

Because you contributed as much to the thread as I did.

[XxSlusherxx]

Why not kill him in a more peaceful way? Is this suppose to be revenge? I think some people don't know what exactly the justice system is for.

It's the world's court, not the US's. You are sentenced to death by hanging in the world's court. Although I think lighting him on fire would be more appropriate here

actually the US refused to turn him over to a UN based world court, he was tried in an Iraqi court, which is weird to me, I mean if he was the dictator when he killed these people, in his country, was it really against the law when he did it? how is this a violation of anything other than the geneva convention? why would the US want him tried in a Iraqi court ful of people that they put in power???

It's not the world court. It's an Iraqi one, which is to say "polite formalized lynching". Not that Saddam doesn't deserve death.

If they'd hauled him off to face justice before an international court, it'd have been better for everyone. Either way, he'd be far away, unable to rile his old friends, and either dead or rotting for life in prison.

I'm actually hoping for riots so bad we have to barricade ourselves in the Green Zone and wait for Baghdad to stop burning to ashes.

[Lordthom]

Reminds me of a John Wayne line in True Grit; "We'll give you a fair trial and then a first rate hanging".

[SephYuyX]

Hanging? Thats it?

Death sentance is the easiest way out. I dont believe anyone should get the death sentance, they should get the 'torture sentance'. People who get the death sentance should be tortured all day every day untill they die. Otherwise there is no punishment.

Yeah, because that would accomplish soooo much. Kinda like the death penalty has been shown to deter people from killing...oh wait.

Just lock people up for the rest of their lives and forget about them...seriously, stop wasting my tax dollars on a frivilous and morally wrong practice. I hope you feel good at night knowing that the US has executed innocent people before.

[Lawls]

I'm pretty sure it'd take more of your tax dollars to keep someone jailed for life than to just kill him on the spot, big guy.

[edgarfigaro]

except you can't kill people on the spot. It takes years to legally kill someone in the US, and all those mandatory appeals that we go through to keep innocent people from dying (yet somehow we still kill a couple every now and then) end up costing the taxpayers more than just housing them for their natural life.

So yeah, you're a moron and someone that really, really needs to be banned. Maybe we should just frame you for a murder and kill you on the spot.

How nice of you to join the "let's ban that guy" bandwagon that you and your butt buddies have all been jumping on.

1) All studies exclude the cost of geriatric care, recently found to be $69,000/inmate/yr. A significant omission from life sentence costs.

2) All studies exclude the cost savings of the death penalty, which is the ONLY sentence which allows for a plea bargain to a maximum life sentence. Such plea bargains accrue as a cost benefit to the death penalty, such benefit being the cost of trials and appeals for every such plea bargain. The cost savings would be for trial and appeals, an amount estimated to be at least $1 million per case. Depending upon jurisdiction, this may result in a zero net cost for the death penalty, depending on the number of plea bargains Vs the number of death penalty trials, or an actual net cost benefit.

There are numerous studies on life imprisonment vs death, and all of them seem to favor different sides on the cost factor. Just like internet addiction isn't as bad as drug addiction, studies will go either way. Don't take "killing on the spot" so literal, either. I know how long it takes for a death sentence to finalize, but in the end the death is quick compared to life sentence.

[Mizango]

will it be televised?

probably not but chances are it will surface on limewire or the internet in general :wink:

yup

I was watching the news and Saddam's death is gonna happen relatively fast compared to American court executions, gotta remember this isn't America, you don't get to leech tax dollars for years at a time on death row, Iraq has the fabled 'death row express lane' Ron White talked about
