#3 Saddam had a farewell meeting with two of his half-brothers on Thursday, his lawyers said, adding that the fallen dictator was in high spirits. A third half-brother and another aide are also condemned to die for crimes against humanity.

Probably gave the two half-brothers those numbered Swiss bank account numbers...

#4 Al-Maliki said "our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence." Gotta love the logic!

#7 Any American who protests / mourns openly upon Saddam's execution should be photographed, quoted and published in all the blogs possible. We'll find them in all the usual moonbat hideouts.

We must ridicule these people. Not harm them, ridicule them. We must make sure ordinary Americans know which side the nutroots and moonbats are on.

#9 Updates from Iraq the Model:

Updates:

-Tariq Harb, Iraq's most famous judicial expert who's been following and commenting on the trial since the beginning said he expected the execution to take place in the next few hours.

-The Sadrist said they would return to the cabinet and parliament after Saddam is executed.

-Bahaa' al-Aaraji, a Sadrist and member of the parliament's legal commission told al-Iraqiya TV that two execution sites have been prepared; one in the IZ and one in another location he wouldn't disclose.

-Al-Aaraji told al-Iraqiya TV that the government is asking clerics whether it's allowed to carry out executions during religious holidays. He added that he expects Saddam to be executed no later than noon tomorrow.
