#1 True poetic justice would be to have someone from the region of Kurdistan where the mustard gas was used pull the lever for the trap door at the gallows. Let his face be the last one the 3 bastards see before their journey to Hell, and make sure they know who he is...

#2 Let the Kurds do it. They can auction off the various roles like executioner, noose-setter, knot-tier, piano-wire provider, witness, cameraman, director, resuscitator, etc. on e-bay.

#3 I'm to be condemned for getting so out of touch with the whole process that I'm not even sure where things stand, but I suspect the timing of this is slightly unfortunate as Ali Quimiyawi's starring role in the 1991 case is as yet unfinished. Unfortunately the 30-day law passed by the Iraqis ties everyone's hands. Yes, yes, there's never an ideal time for some things, but Ali's main roles were in Anfal and 1991, so the hemp party would be better held after the 1991 case is finished. Media snarking and bias aside, many Iraqis do follow these cases and do show an interest in the evidence presented and probably (if even unconsciously) pick up an idea or two about due process along the way.
