We are dumb for leaking this information to the world. Sets us up. This whole thing is so outlandish, I can't believe it's happening.

what with his last words to Iraqis and his goodbyes to his family, you watch, he'll be played off as a martyr for the cause (political)........

The sectarian violence will only increase and that country will implode IMO.

Personally, I am not sure I agree with a death sentence, but of course they didnt pass the memo my way.......In a strange sort of way, I feel compassion for him at the end, knowing that he will soon have to face his earthly deeds...thats an awful lot of bad Karma to have to overcome..........

I read that a watchdog group (forget which one) said his trial was a joke, that there were all sorts of miscarriages of justice and that the sentence wasnt valid because the trial wasnt proper....

Well they're saying within hours now.

Not only will a martyr be created but it will be a convenient peg for some on which to hang future acts of violence. So yeah, a clever move all round

What's even more sick and morbid is US TV execs are weighing airing this thing. It's apparently being taped...I just heard about it on NPR...

Can we be more disrespectful to a human life? Sure he was considered a bad man, but come on!



....and I'm sure he's probably already dead.
