Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 15, 2005 Saddam's trial may be televised I am hoping for a quick trial and execution. Maybe he should be considered for the 2006 deathlist. I would just love to see his acctual trial telivised not reacted as in Michael Jacksons. I'm sure if he does get executed many of his people would enjoy to view it since many of them hold a great disliking to the former dictator. Just as a suggestion i thought perhaps the USA should try something new. I thought hanging Saddam in yankee stadium might be a very catchy idea but life in jail is a much more slow and painful punishment. It says: Whether Saddam Hussein faces the death penalty if convicted "will be decided at the last minute," Great idea. Decided at the last minute eh? Does that mean he'll be put in front of a firing squad, and then, and only then, will it be decided to use real bullets or blanks? Maybe it will be on the toss of a coin 'Head, we shoot, tails, you hang...' I have to disagree - I doubt Saddam's fate lies within the flip of a coin. His future should be based on the opinions of those he's tortured and brought pain to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted October 16, 2005 I must disagree with you Banshees. I think Saddam should be placed in protective custody and forced to endure hours of listening to Barney the Dinosaur singing crappy songs. Or maybe made into an intern under Martha Stewart. Or perhaps he can be forced to star on a Fox network show. Better yet, if you want to punish him most severley make him sit through an evening with Harvey Fierstein.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 16, 2005 Some are concerned that an execution may make Saddam a martyr, regardless of the many crimes that he has committed. Just bear that in mind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may be true, but it should not in anyway hinder the punishment decided at the end of Saddam’s trial (if or most likely when) he is found guilty. If the punishment that is decided is based on the reaction by some fanatics instead of the crimes that he was found guilty of, then the whole trial process will be viewed as a sham.

If there is to be real justice he will be treated fairly. Can't see that happening in Iraq's kangaroo courts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but of course this all depends on whether the Iraqi laws would permit execution or not. For instance, if Saddam was tried in the UK or in most states in the USA, life imprisonment would be the most he would get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
