Here's the story on CNN.com, Black Mischief made the clever observation that this sentencing comes two days before the elections, conveniently.

Discuss?

Oh, and... cnn.com has some awkward advertising algorithms, not gonna lie:

Its about time he was sentenced. This was by an Iraqi Council, thus the sentencing. Obviously the US Supreme Court would not sentence him to death by hanging. This was even for a event that happened in 1982, not for any events in the more recent past. It also says he must be executed within 30 days. Wether or not that happns should be interesting. I will like to see this play out.

Good riddance, you sicko =\

I didnt mean i wanted to see him hang. I meant i want to see if they will actual follow through with the sentencing. If they do then Iraq may show that they have a more stable government and that they have some power. If they dont then it shows that someone still is running the government over there that shouldnt. This will show the Iraqi people that they can start to believe in their government IF they can follow through with their sentencing.

Retribution for his death will be swift and severe. Don't expect an easy few month's.

about damn time....he should've been hanging from a meathook like good ol' Mussolini five years ago.

In fairness to him he did bring stability to an unstable country but that doesn't excuse the mass genocide.

This subject will be closed shortly. 100k says so

Yeah it will, it's politics.

I'm certainly glad to see something finally done. I agree with Pwn though, if this happens when they say it will then it shows they can make their own decisions and follow through with them.

Hanging? Isn't that a little medieval? Up here in Canada we may not have a death sentence, but we do have something worse... Celine Dion... Yeah I know, it's a little old.

I honously forgot this guy even existed... I guess that show how little I give a crap about current events... I was too focused on the fact The Who released a new album.

Giga Strike · Nov 06, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

he was sentenced by the iraqi courts, so they choose his fate.

Commander Ryker · Nov 06, 2006, 02:35 PM // 14:35

Hanging is too good for him.

Electric Sky · Nov 06, 2006, 03:57 PM // 15:57

he requested to be shot to death instead by hanging...........said he doesnt want to die like a common criminal

Giga Strike · Nov 06, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

makes sense, hes not a common criminal...he's a super criminal!

I pwnd U · Nov 06, 2006, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Yes he was sentenced by an Iraqi Council, which means their death penalty is different from ours. They don't have death by chemicals or the electric chair. Its either hanging or getting shot to death. Usually hanging is reserved for the commen criminals to try to scare off other criminals.

Whoa I didn't really mean for this to veer off-topic and go political, I was really just commenting about the timing, and the life-insurance ad on the page being ironic >_>

Sir Skullcrasher · Nov 06, 2006, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Wow, why isn't this page dead yet like Saddam?

Giga Strike · Nov 06, 2006, 05:33 PM // 17:33

its big news

Electric Sky · Nov 06, 2006, 05:34 PM // 17:34

once he actually does die from his death sentence, then this page will die along with it i guess

Sir Skullcrasher · Nov 06, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Sky... I'm going to stalk you now!
