Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted September 25, 2007 OOH, you selfish bugger. The trial of 'Chemical' Ali Hassan al-Majid for crimes against humanity has restarted, despite his already being found guilty of genocide. Get a sodding move on, Iraqi justice types! Nah, pace yerselves. Mebbe hang him on January 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted September 25, 2007 More foolish, I get the impression that his consistent resisting might be endangering his life. More compliant types get off with jail. 'Chemical Ali' was probably a predictable explosion once in court, he was never totally in the real world to start with. Something that made him quite useful in his days with Saddam.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted September 25, 2007 Mary, he's already been sentenced to death for the Crimes against Humanity charges, They're just dicking about now. Sure they're probably justifying it by citing 'reasons of closure' ' the truth must have its' day in court' and all that waffle, but I wish they'd hurry up and give him the string necklace. Because what do DDP points mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted September 25, 2007 Point taken ATJ and I did know about the death sentence but the whole business of executions out there is linked with the political moves. I think they will kill him, though his high profile is a mixed blessing here. They wouldn't - for example - kill Tariq Aziz, even if he'd been implicated on paper in an atrocity or two because he's an erudite and contrite diplomatic sort, and he's not well. Regardless of the political fall-out and the dangers of another You Tube publicity disaster if someone sneaks a camera in to the hanging, 'Chemical Ali' is probably crazy and dangerous enough to be killable. But all that titting around suggests - maybe - they'd like time to find another option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted October 4, 2007 Chemical Ali execution delayed... for now. Crucially for those lamenting no points on the DDP yet for the condemmed one or three... the last day of Ramadan is October 12th. Which means the first day of execution possible is October..... 13th. Double points all round, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 18, 2007 Dear ATJ These are bags of all sizes. From now on 'if you ever have the desire' to share anything of a controversially crude mentality be sure to put one of these bags over it's head. You only have five bags, so make sure you don't hold back often. Only hold back when you feel your motives can be questioned in a critical 'low blow' sort of tone. PS: Keep the bags away from your thread titles. I'm a big fan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
