Quote: | Will everyone be satisfied with hanging the sham? |
I personally believe it would be a very bad move to hang anyone under the guise of it being Saddam. Whoever this person is, he is under lock and key so let him simply stay there. His death will lead to even greater numbers of allied soldiers being killed not to mention civilians - is the ultimate revenge worth any additional deaths? Just one death as a direct result of killing him is counter-productive. He is being put to death as a result of his past and people will today die as a result? It makes no sense.
In addition, whilst I do not agree with Saddam's methods of 'ruling', his methods certainly kept the peace far better than the current regime. _________________ I completely challenge the official version of events - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC -I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC - I AM NOT A 9/11 TRUTH CRITIC |

This is a little off topic but I thought it might be of interest.
I have to say, there is nothing straight about this. I'm not saying that I believe that they are going to hang a double but there are multiple layers of duplicity here.
I realised a couple of years ago ago that I had spent a couple of hours in 2003 in a London pub just off Trafalgar Square talking to one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers, Abdul Haq Al-Ani:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/gallery/image/0,8543,-11005312307,00.html
We did nothing but argue and he did nothing but lie. He claimed to have driven to from England to Iraq alone in six days one winter - having time to be caught in a snowdrift and have his car stolen for 24 hours. It took myself and three others sharing the driving in two vehicles nearly two weeks - though we only reached Gaziantep.
He claimed to have a case to try Tony Blair for war crimes, which though admirable, he did not know British law well enough to know that the constitution requires that a government's culpability only extends to the length of its office, hence there was no attempt to prosecute Margaret Thatcher for the sinking of the Belgrano after the proceeding election - even though she was re-elected.
He kept his British girlfriend (who I won't name), who my friend and I had gone to meet (and was clearly distressed), a virtual prisoner in her own home and when she had her home raided it was her computer they took. It was also a concern for us as it would have held contact our details:
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article80236.ece
Unfortunately, the bulk of this article is part of The Independent's subscription only 'Portfolio'.
We met Jon Pilger's researcher, Felicity Arbuthnot, in Hamburg later that year at a conference about depleted uranium and when she realised that we were acquainted with 'Haqi' her tone completely changed and she was obviously very concerned that her friend was in danger. Reading the article in The Independent did nothing to reassure us.
Over the following weeks, all contact with the friend was eventually lost. My friend had one last very short and uninformative conversation with her on the phone.
I have just done a brief internet search for her and have found nothing relating to her in the field that I know her since November 2003 - though that ought not to be misinterpreted.
He is currently being quoted on the radio, saying that the trial was a mockery and orchestrated by the US etc. I can only say that there is nothing honest about this whole business. From 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to this spectacle of disingenuity. And that Saddam Hussein's defence was orchestrated from London must surely raise some questions about the whereabouts of his former 'human resources'. |

It isnĀ“t tha OFF topic, after all the whole iraq war was made possible by the 9/11 attack, in fact the war against afghanistan and Iraq may be the reasons why 9/11 happened.
An excuse to invade. _________________ "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind..." Bod Marley |
