Malaysian ex-PM: Saddam killing barbaric, sadistic
2007-01-02
"If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn this barbaric lynching of Saddam Hussein."
Malaysia's former prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, on Monday slammed the execution of Saddam Hussein as barbaric, sadistic and a public murder.

"If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn this barbaric lynching of Saddam Hussein," Mahathir, a vocal critic of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, said in a statement issued through national news agency Bernama.

He said the "sadistic act" of broadcasting the former Iraqi president's execution to the world was a travesty of justice designed to demonstrate the imperial power of the United States.

#9  Be thankful I wasn't in charge. I'd have had him drawn and quartered on the main street of Baghdad, and the pieces dragged through the town until there's nothing left. While I missed on Saddam, maybe YOU'RE available, Mahathir...

#5  Mahathir, like a lot of other Moslem "leaders", is waking up in a cold sweat at night thinking of themselves in Saddam's shoes. Absolute power loses much of its sweetness if you know you might end up dangling from a gibbet.

...Fortunately, they don't support human rights and justice.
