| 2006-10-16 |
 A verdict against Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants charged with crimes against humanity in connection with an anti-Shi'ite crackdown in the 1980s will be issued by early next month, with sentences handed out the same day for those found guilty, the chief prosecutor in their trial said Sunday. Jaafar al-Moussawi said a court hearing would be held no later than three weeks hence to issue verdicts and render a sentences. |

| #5 Prediction: sentencing will be delayed for an undetermined time while 'new' evidence is considered. (Said evidence pushed by dimmis or other moonbats/Jesse/Cindy/losers).Hope I am wrong. |

| #2 I think the whole 'delayed reaction', Western style of justice being administered in Iraq is fueling the so-called insurgency. Crimes in which innocent civilians are targetted (not collateral) - bombings of mosques, markets, kidnappings, murders of barbers, doctors etc. - should be designated capital offenses. ANYONE involved who is captured should be quickly tried (days, not years), and if convicted, publicly hanged, again in days, not years. Justice delayed is justice denied. (Attacks against police, military, & even political figures - but not their families - might warrant lesser penalties, as quasi-legitimate acts of war.) |
