Balta1701 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Link. Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, sentenced to death for his role in 148 killings in 1982, will have his sentence carried out by Sunday, NBC News reported Thursday. According to a U.S. military officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, Saddam will be hanged before the start of the Eid religious holiday, which begins this Sunday. The hanging could take place as early as Friday, NBC’s Richard Engel reported. The U.S. military received a formal request from the Iraqi government to transfer Saddam to Iraqi authorities, NBC reported on Thursday, which is one of the final steps required before his execution. His sentence, handed down last month, ordered that he be hanged within 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finkelstein Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Any chance this will be on tape somewhere? If so, I wonder how many people who normally wouldn't watch something like that would check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I wonder how many people who normally wouldn't watch something like that would check it out. I think it's actually going to be shown on Iraqi Television, as proof to the Iraqi people that it actually happened. Good to see he's finally gets what's coming to him though.

Why? I hope they (whoever "they" are in this case) aren't trying to block or slow the execution. I don't think that will go over well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 All hell broke loose a while ago. A wave of violence associated with Saddam specifically in this case is inevitable as well, regardless of whether he is executed or withheld from execution by the occupying force. Therefore, I think the only logical solution is to allow the Iraqi system take its course. Let him die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I have to laugh at these pro-saddam groups threatening violence if they hang him. Haven't they been perpetrating violence since the beginning anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
