Saddam Hussein sentenced to death

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/wo...rssnyt&emc=rss

Unfortunately, the punishment does not fit the crimes he's committed...

I think that would be to easy of an out for him. With lethel injection don't they give a sediative first to calm them down?

Call me a bad person but i think his death penality should be slow and torturous to fit the crimes he has committed that SOB.

Should he have been drawn and quartered? Exposed to mustard gas? I'm not sure there's really a way to make the punishment fit . . .

Ok, so I think he should be punished for what he did and all....but why hanging? That's soo "middle ages" lol. Hello! We are in the 21st century...let's try not hanging him.

Um, do you really think Baghdad is set up with an electric chair (probably not any more 'humane'), or a hospital with the necessary setup for lethal injection?

I'm not saying he has to get the chair or die through lethal injection....but I don't think he should hang.

It's not really a question of whether its "humane" or not...I just don't like hangings! lol

The last hanging in the US took place in 1996.

over in that part of the world, they still do public hangings, beheadings and stonings.

Which I don't understand.

"Honey come on, get the sandwiches, soda and potato salad ready. Did someone bring a blanket to sit on? We gotta get a move on so we can get a good seat for the execution!"
(being facetious)
WTF?

I didn't mean a torturous death. Rather, that being put to death now just seems like a cop-out. After everything he's done, death by hanging just doesn't seem enough. I feel like there should be more punishment. I don't condone the death penalty personally, but that's just the culture I was raised in.

Yeah, I can somewhat hear you, but I think we can really run this in circles . . . we could call just about any punishment a 'cop-out' or 'not enough' - it's not like we have a vast number of similar cases to fall back on.

I just feel like killing him now does the most toward obviating potential martyrdom . . .

Killing people is bad! We're going to kill you to prove that! Now everybody will see that it is bad.
