No listing of any names, charges or other details in this article...
Iraq's Higher Judicial Council on Sunday announced that eight Iraqis, convicted of involvement in terrorist activities, were executed, a council source said in a statement. The eight executions involved eight Iraqis among 14, whose executions were approved by the Iraqi authorities, the source said. "The sentence was carried out in the Iraqi Reform Sector, after the allegations made against them were authenticated," the source said. Sixteen other death sentences were approved by the Iraqi Court of Cassation and referred to the Presidential Council for final approval and setting the date for the sentence to be carried out.
G'bye, boys! Give our regards to Himmler!

#10  I understand Tooky Williams had a big funeral today. But what the heck, he was only executed for the murder of four people. A piker compared to some roadside bomber...

No names. How appropriate.

Hope none of the Iraqi officials who signed the death warrant had a stadium named after them somewhere in Austria... Probably not...

#7  The all-time best poem of Claude Clay:

Ashes to ashes,
And dust to dust, son.
Get where you're going
With Internal Combustion.

He was running a sale on cremation that week.

#5  Boy, at this rate (8 in 1 day, and 16 more to be served up soon), they'll hit that "majik" 1,000 body count # well before we "barbarians" in the U.S. did (hat tips to the MSM over their daily drumbeat of the 1,000th "victim" of capital punishment). Carry on!

#4  T.K. Ryan in his "Tumbleweeds" cartoon has a character named Hogarth Hemp, the hangman. To quote:

"Post-Mortem Puppeteer of the First Magnitude!
One O' The Top Trachea-Tweakers of All Time!
Why, I've Tripped More Traps than a Near-Sighted Muskrat!...
Men, I've Staged Some O' The Finest Mid-Air Choreography in the West!
Why, Folks Flock From Miles Away T'See Me Perform!...
An' In My Act, I Use Only The Top Victi...Er...Co-Stars!"

"They take the falls and you take the bows, eh?"

"That's Show Biz!

#3  I'm sure the good burghers of Graz, Austria, will want to name public buildings and sports sites in their "honor."

Just as soon as they can find out what names to use.

If they want to get a jump on things, they can start naming the various spots "________ Mohammed" and "Mohammed ________" and just fill in the blanks later.

(And gnädige Herren of Graz: since you think it's such a great idea to name your various local venues after multiple murders, why not fill in that first blank with Mohammed Atta? Now there's a mass murderer for you! Makes your buddy "Tookie" look like the piker he was.)
