Tareq Aziz 'has weeks to live'
2006-01-13
Iraq's former deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, may have less than a month to live after suffering a cerebral embolism, his lawyer has said. Badie Arif Ezzat told the Al-Hayat Arab newspaper on Thursday that Tareq Aziz, one of the most recognisable figures from Saddam Hussein's deposed regime, is "in agony and I do not expect him to live more than a month" following the cerebral embolism and heart problems.
Anyone tell Pat Robertson?
A cerebral embolism occurs when a blood clot creates a blockage in an artery in the brain and is a common cause of a stroke. Ezzat did not say when Aziz, 69, had been struck by the illnesses but noted that the deterioration was apparent when he visited several of his clients to mark the Muslim Eid Al-Adha festival which started on Tuesday.

#2  in agony and I do not expect him to live more than a month

I can live with that. But put the bastard on trial now, and convict him quickly, so that his death sentence steals the last few minutes from his life as he enabled life to be stolen from others. Let him face the judgement of his god after he faces that of those he wronged. Vengeance may be claimed by God, but Man is perfectly capable of justice untempered by unjustifiable mercy.

Not that I have strong feelings on the subject...

#1  I should have read the article first. I thought maybe there was no point in a trial, they were just going to string him up.
