#1 "Sorry, U.N. We've got a backlog. Once we are through with it, things will be somewhat toned down. But at 34/mo., we're still looking at about three years of executions before we get to there."

#3 Easy for the UN to say, they don't have Iranian nuts blowing themselves and school kids up to start a civil war.

#4 U.N. Calls on Iraq to Immediately Suspend Death Penalty

Hmm. Maybe Navi Pillay would be happy to take the convicts in as housemates until after the matter can be given a thorough review by whatever passes for the Iraqi Supreme Court. Or Navi becomes too worried about dying a highly unnatural premature death. Whichever comes first.
