Saddam Hussein Sentenced To Death By Hanging (Bush-Karl Rove's Election Week Surprise?)

Well, we knew this was coming, but when the decision was clearly set to occur just before the U.S. mid-term elections with the GOP scrambling to keep Republican control of both houses.. well... and with the Bushies' locking Baghdad down tight along with four provinces.

Former Iraqi dictator and two other co-defendants will be hanged for their role in a brutal crackdown nearly 25 years ago in Dujail.

Saddam should not be the only one indicted, tried, and punished, IMHO.

After all, like it or not, regardless of how Fox News has spun it, the very worst atrocities committed by Saddam occured while he was a "friend" of the U.S. government's. And all those Kurd deaths by "WMD"? The weapons/gas came from us. We sold it to him.

Oh, yeah, and Rumsfeld has a picture younger than that "nearly 25 years ago" in which he smiles and he warmly shakes Saddam's hand.
