Yea we know. It's interesting...

Heard it a while ago and I thought it was about time he got hung.

What's weird is that he's still trying to appeal.

I wonder why...

Well it's not like it's going to make a difference. The bastard will die and we can all rejoice.

With Saddam being hung, Osama probably dead from illness all we need is George Bush dead and the world's three biggest terrorists will be dead.

Hanged*

You guys realize his sentence isn't going to be carried out for another year or so.

He's going to....ESCAPE!!!

Or even better, he can commit suicide.

He will be more of a threat and stronger if he dies cause somebody will just take his place and it will never end, So it doesn't make sense killing him.

Many people who oppose the death penalty are actually against hanging Saddam. The whole point of the death penalty is to kill those who have killed. The thing I don't understand is...why do people oppose the death penalty?

Because somebody will just take his place thats why, If he stays alive then nobody will, They should just put him in a cell.

And let him brake loose?

He won't just "break loose".

The reason why i dislike death penaltys is because sometimes people are innocent in places like Texas and have been framed, Theres a guy from Glasgow Scotland and he's has been on death row in Texas for like 16yrs because theres strong evidence he's Innocent but they still want him to stay on death row and not admit there wrong, The pope himself even asked for him to be freed along with alot of majour Holywood stars and he's been there for 16yrs a majour miscarrige of justice.

BTW : Oh yeah incase you were wondering your suppose to be on Deaths row at the very most of 3 months before your executed and he's been there for 16yrs.

but this man has slaughtered his people mercilessly and persecuted them injustifiably. the death penalty should stand for that.

I love how you people talk about this when none of it matters. This is all in Iraq's hands.

I really don't care about the whole thing, just hang him or something and get it over with.

Living in Texas, I think that the death penalty is pretty awesome, useful, at least. What better form of punishment than that? As a matter of fact, I think that it should be the people's vote whether to kill the victim or not.

You mean the convicted criminal. You don't kill the victim of the crime.

I think that it should be the people's vote whether to kill the victim or not.
Thats a great quote right there.

I aggre.

they should kill him ceatively
like force him to eat venomous spiders and reptiles live.

I think there might be a rule against doing that somewhere.

yeah, its called the 8th amendment to the constitution.

Well there's that, but the constitution doesn't apply in Iraq. Unless, Saddam somehow was moved to the US for the trial.

Iraq Bill Of Rights

“Torture in all its forms, physical or mental, shall be prohibited under all circumstances, as shall cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment….” (Chap 2, Article 15)

Isn't the 8th Amendment something to do with Cruel and Unusual punishments?

I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not.

I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not.Depends on whether you used Google or not.

Nope.

You first said that it's the 8th amendment that protected him from torture, not an amendment in the Iraqi bill of rights, though the same rule does apply because the Iraqi Bill of Rights says so.
