Where's Mike Farrell?...
"BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi appeals court on Tuesday upheld
Saddam Hussein's death sentence for crimes against humanity and said he should hang within 30 days. .....The appeal court has approved the death sentence. They (the government) have the right to choose the date starting from tomorrow up to 30 days. After 30 days it will be an obligation to implement the sentence," the head of the Iraqi High Tribunal, Aref Abdul-Razzaq al-Shahin, told a news conference."
"We are against the death penalty as a matter of principle but particularly in this case because it comes after a flawed trial," an Amnesty International spokeswoman said.
Human Rights Watch, a New York-based group, also objected.
"Imposing the death penalty, indefensible in any case, is especially wrong after such unfair proceedings," said Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice program at Human Rights Watch.
In case anyone forgot, here's some photos of people denied a right or two, like breathing:
Yet, bloated bodies and all, this man wants Saddam to live a long, full life in air-conditioned splendor......I hope he makes the trip and waves his little anti-death penalty flags in Iraq, where a few kurds might exercise their new -found freedom of speech in his face.
