Is Chief Judge Raouf Rasheed Abdel-Rahman an American Judge or even an American Citizen? Who makes up the tribunal in this case? American's or Iraqi's?

Where is the trial being held? In the United States or Iraq?

Where will his death sentence occur? In the United States or Iraq?

What murders is he being charged with? Killing Iraq citizens or American's?

We (United States) decided to let Iraq handle Saddam and his fate because of the crimes he committed against his citizens and his country.

Please elaborate on your comment.

Im wondering if they'll air it on tv (in iraq) as a closure kind of thing for all of the families he's hurt? They'll probably have to have a lot of security there, i bet someones gonna try and save him.

Nope.


The death sentence means an automatic appeal to a nine-member appeals chamber. The sentence must be carried out within 30 days of all appeals being exhausted. Iraq’s president and two vice-presidents must ratify the death sentence before it is carried out.

Well, I figured if anyone would try to pin this trial or verdict as being "biased by US control" as dlerch would love for everyone to believe, this site would have it. Big surprise... the US is not mentioned... Hmmmm....

CTV News Report

Saddam Hussein sentenced to death by hanging
05/11/2006 11:49:51 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging. The former Iraqi dictator shouted down the verdict: "Life for the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!"

The court also sentenced Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the head of Iraq's former Revolutionary Court, to death by hanging.

Iraq's former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan was convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Three other co-defendants were found guilty of murder and torture. One defendant was acquitted for lack of evidence.

A trembling Saddam, who wanted to sit but was forced by guards to stand for the verdict, yelled out defiantly: "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!"

The former Iraqi dictator and his seven co-defendants were found guilty for a wave of revenge killings of 148 Shiite Muslims in the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassination attempt on Saddam. Al-Maliki's Islamic Dawa party, then an underground opposition, has claimed responsibility for organizing the attempt on Saddam's life.

The case will now move to an appeal court within the next 10 days, and if the sentence is confirmed, Saddam will face execution within 30 days.

"The verdict placed on the heads of the former regime does not represent a verdict for any one person. It is a verdict on a whole dark era that is unmatched in Iraq's history," Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's Shiite prime minister, said.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the verdict was "absolute proof that you've got an independent judiciary in Iraq" that operates fairly and openly.

"It's a good day for the Iraqi people," he said on NBC's "Today Show."

This historic trial wrapped up as Saddam is in the midst of a second trial which began in August, on charges of genocide against the Kurds.

Most of Iraq was in lockdown in anticipation of more violence from insurgent groups and Saddam supporters.

Clashes immediately broke out Sunday in north Baghdad's heavily Sunni Azamiyah district, and a Sunni political leader condemned the court decision.

"This government will be responsible for the consequences, with the deaths of hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands, whose blood will be shed," Salih al-Mutlaq, the Sunni politician, told the al-Arabiya satellite television station.

Saddam's chief lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi condemned the trial as a "farce," and claimed the verdict was planned.

However, he told The Associated Press that Saddam called on Iraqis to reject sectarian violence and to refrain from taking revenge on U.S. troops in Iraq.

"His message to the Iraqi people was 'pardon and do not take revenge on the invading nations and their people'," al-Dulaimi. "The president also asked his countrymen to 'unify in the face of sectarian strife.'"

In Saddam's hometown of Tikrit, 1,000 people defied a curfew and carried pictures of Saddam through the streets. Some condemned the ruling, whch they said was orchestrated by the U.S.

"By our souls, by our blood we sacrifice for you Saddam" and "Saddam your name shakes America."

The U.S. embassy in Baghdad, meanwhile, issued a statement saying the decision marks a historic moment for Iraq, calling it "an opportunity to unite and build a better future.''

Saddam's supporters had threatened bloodshed if he was convicted at the end of the nine-month trial, and U.S. and Iraqi forces stepped up security Saturday in a country that is in a constant state of martial law.

New security checkpoints sprang up around the city late last week ahead of the ruling. Military patrols were increased and a main Baghdad bridge that carries traffic past the Green Zone has been blocked off.

The curfew is in place until further notice, keeping people at home and vehicles off the streets. Baghdad's airport was also shut down.

The clampdown comes as a wave of increased violence sweeps Iraq. Police found the bodies of 87 torture victims throughout the capital over Thursday and Friday, and across Iraq, at least 16 people were killed or found dead on Saturday.

Such heavy security measures haven't been seen in Iraq since the sectarian bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra last February.

Ummm...his supporters. You mean the violence in Iraq is someone other then those that support his regime? Couldnt be Iranian, Egyptian, Syrian and other Muslim extremists fighters, that just couldnt be.


Note to our enemies....

You're a tool lerch. Honestly has anyone ever told you that you suck at life? I mean you suck big time, you probably could remove the chrome off of a trailer ball. Why do you even wake up in the morning? Your constant America bashing way of thinking just further reiterates that you are the most worthless person that I have ever seen post. If you don't like it here, get the f*** out.

He's getting exactly what he deserves, if I had it my way he'd be put to death in the most excruciating way possible. Stoning, lava, maybe a pool full of pirahnas. Maybe you should join him. :)

ahhh... the easy way out... :rolleyes:

There is a difference between being a "tool" - probably what Harlen was talking about - and just stating honest "unbiased" facts. I assume you can't do this without bringing in your ridiculous anti-American conspiracy theories that trigger such an uproar.

Anyways, don't waste your time responding... because just like CNN or listening to the extreme liberal left, I'll turn it off and stick to my own conclusions that are based on facts. Nothing you can say will change my PRO-AMERICAN views. I love my country and favor its side before I side with some wack job liberal.

BTW, as usual, you take a thread and throw it off course... please re-read the topic at hand. The thread/question was about how Saddam was going to be killed. I answered the question, then YOU go off on your standard, anti-american way.... Are you really trying to make someone think we have control or say over the way he dies??? If not, go start your own thread.

[Mxjunkie]

Lerch need's to just go sit in a corner and talk to him self because I truely belive hes the only one that cares about anything that comes from his simple mind..

[Admin]

There isn't anything better than some fresh popcorn, pop, and political or biblical discussion on the Internet, lol.

But, while this one is under control, I am going to call it a day because I have work to do around the house.
