I'm actually glad it had American backing. He didn't deserve any of the civil liberties that we all have.

Do you honestly think that after all the fucking trouble we've caused over there, we're gonna turn over the prime target to a court of his peers? LOLLERS

My issue with the execution has nothing to do with civil liberties. One, Saddam was a criminal against humanity. Two, he was not an american citizens. The execution and trial of saddam did not simply have american backing. This trial and execution would not have happened had not been for American intervention in Iraq; which was a huge foreign policy mistake. I have said it before and I will say it again: Iraq did not have WMD. Iraq never attacked the United States, nor did they have any ties to Osama. This war was about oil and american domination in the middle east. Don't get me wrong, I will not shed any tears for Saddam. He was a ruthless and evil man. I just think the circumstances of the trial and execution were improper...

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour on Wednesday appealed to Iraq not to execute two ex-officials from the administration of former president Sadam Hussein.

An earlier appeal from Arbour not to carry out a death sentence on Saddam himself, executed last Saturday, was brushed aside by the authorities in Baghdad.

Arbour said she had sent her latest appeal -- referring to Saddam's half-brother and former intelligence chief Barzan al-Tikriti and a former chief judge, Awad al-Bander -- directly to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.

"International law, as it currently stands, only allows the imposition of the death penalty as an exceptional measure within rigourous legal constraints," said the former Canadian High Court justice.

She said concerns that she expressed about the fairness and impartiality of Saddam's trial applied equally to the other two men, whose appeals against sentence -- like that of Saddam -- have been rejected.

"I have therefore today directly appealed to the President of the Republic of Iraq to refrain from carrying out these sentences," Arbour declared.

Under Iraq's international obligations, she said, the Baghdad government was bound to give the two men the opportunity to seek commutation of the sentence or pardon.

Sigh... I'm personally against the death penalty, but I say they should hang those fuckers.
