I heard that this sentence automatically goes to a council-type where they have an unlimited amount of time to decide when the sentence gets carried out & if Saddam gets an appeal

Maybe I'm a sick person but I think people sentenced to the death penalty should be killed the way they killed their victims. Screw the "humane" crap.
I heart the death penalty

No torture. Granted, I'm not necc against torture, but lets hang him/shoot him and move on. They should kill him tommorow in a completely unceremonial way.

This is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard anyone say. You would actually be ok with prison officials killing people sentenced to death by dismembering them, strangling them, or bludgeoning them to death depending on the case? And what about if someone (such as numerous serial killers in our countries history) sexually assaulted their victims right before or after their death? Even though that didn't cause their death, it's certainly not something that can be ignored? Would you like prison officials to engage in this as well, just to make SURE the punishment fit the crime? I don't know if you actually thought your statement through before you made it, but people need to realize that sometimes the crimes people commit are just too horrific (Saddam and so many others) to be evenly "matched" with a punishment. I believe it takes truly sick and messed up people to commit crimes like these, and I don't think that *I personally* would want those type of people being in charge of official government executions.
Ok I am sorry to hijack this thread with my ramblings. Personally, I don't care what happens to Saddam whether he hangs, dies by a firing squad, or rots in jail for the rest of his life. All that matters to me is that he'll never again be a free man and able to commit any more crimes. The end.

Heeeeeeey, don't call me an idiot. I don't ACTUALLY want them to use the death penalty that way, but its just really awful that people are tortured and slowly killed, and then everyone walks on eggshells trying to treat their killers "humanely".

The punishment, whatever it ends up being, will never fit the crime. But isn't that true for all capital punishment?
I personally think that Saddam should be sentenced to hard time in the slums of Shaolin.

Yeah, personally I think the most humane thing would be to take a coat hanger and stretch that shit out, then put it on a stove, and get that shit red hot . . .

VandalSquirrel, I believe Oklahoma also can still carry out a firing squad as well at the request of the prisoner.
