The hanging could take place as early as Friday, NBC’s Richard Engel reported.

The U.S. military received a formal request from the Iraqi government to transfer Saddam to Iraqi authorities, NBC reported on Thursday, which is one of the final steps required before his execution. His sentence, handed down last month, ordered that he be hanged within 30 days.
Oh god someone could so make a drinking game out of this. But seriously, opinions?

I am opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances.

While I'm not opposed to the death penalty, and if anyone deserves it, this clown does, I do wonder about the possible repercussions concerning his execution.

I really don't know what I think. I'm not a fan of capital punishment, but I agree that if anyone deserves it, it's this guy. He's not going to repent in prison or anything. Alive or dead he'll be the cause of more violence. On the plus side this is the Iraqi court's decision to make for themselves on the minus side, our troops are still going to have to deal with the consequences.
