In a totally unforeseen move, the US kangaroo court in Baghdad -
Sorry, let's try that again. The Iraqi High Tribunal has sentenced Saddam Hussein to death. He gets one appeal, then once that's refused (because it will be of course) he will be murdered by the state within 30 days.
I won't be weeping for Saddam, but it does strike me as a little odd when the White House has to issue a statement denying they were scheming for the verdict. Surely that's the biggest confirmation that they were?
Mind you, they probably would like rid of Saddam as quickly as possible. You wouldn't want him going and writing his memoirs in prison implicating all sorts of Western governments in all sorts of arms deals, now would you?

The last thing they need to do is execute Saddam. What an appalling waste of dictatorial experience.
We here in Limerick are crying out for a Crime Czar, and I think it would make a lot more sense to send Saddam over to us and give him the job of taking on the skobes.
As he seems to be entirely unburdened by ideology, he looks like the very man for us.
