I think that this should be determined by the Iraqi people.

I don't think he should get the death penalty. Of course if you left it up to the Iraqi people, they would choose that.

But I think this bastard deserves the torture chamber. Duno if there's a such thing, but he royally sucks. My vote is for a stoning, everyday at noon, in the town square.

I thought that it was kinda funny, not lol, but funny.

They have to decide if he will have an Iraqi trial or a US-Iraqi trial to determine what rights he has regarding legal representation. The news (forget which since I have been channel hopping) said his trial might be like Milosevic's or the Nuremberg trials.

I'm not familiar with how they deal with international affairs, but will he have a defense lawyer? I can't imagine anyone who would want to fill the job!

I am glad he was captured. I had actually thought he was dead but I guess f***ers like him have 9 lives. My only thing is that this whole thing was like a bunch of dogs chasing cars. Once they caught one, they don't know what to do with it. I hope his trial doesn't turn into a fiasco of what to do and what not to do with him. If one wants to pull the religion card, then, the Bible says an eye for an eye. I wish the officials could torture the b*****d but that'd be against the Geneva Accords.

In response to your question PM_MAMA00, Saddam Hussein will have a defense attorney. The way it MIGHT work is like how it works here in the US when someone can't afford a lawyer. There's just a list of all the lawyers and their card is pulled if all the lawyers in the Public Defender's office are overloaded with cases. I have a feeling that an international lawyer's card will just be pulled and they'll be told they have to defend him or they'll be held in contempt.

I have the utmost faith that the soldiers of the Army's 4th Infantry Division treated him in the manner that all POW's are supposed to be treated.

Today is a good day. Congrats to the US Military. They really needed a morale booster like this.

Prediction for democrat platform

Since the democrats can't talk about this anymore..this is what I predict the democrats will turn their attention to

1. Other things wrong in Iraq

2. Osama

3. Haliburton

4. VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACIES

Its pretty said that the Democrats have placed themselves in the position where they benefit politically if the US loses the war on terrorism..

Whom ever This Demigod is judged by, He should have a Fair Trial!

That is supposed to be what We as Americans live by!

But, the entertaining question is, is He above the Law along with His Henchmen who slaughtered Thousands of people!

My basic hope is, that with his capture (PIX showing a Scummy Rat) that this will soon change the course of action to Keep Our American and All of the Coalition Soldiers safe from Harms Way!

Now, the question would be, just what punishment is to good for this sorry individual and do not forget his henchmen!

whoa....I can't believe it took me this long to hear about it....I was listening to the radio in my car at like 3-4amish and at like 1045-1115ish and there was no mention. Then again at both times I kept falling asleep, so maybe I just wasnt paying attention!!
