Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single town, as the ousted leader, trembling and defiant, shouted "God is great!"

As he, his half brother and another senior official in his regime were convicted and sentenced to death, Saddam yelled out, "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!"

He's right about that, the glorious nation's enemy is going to get death.

I hope it's worth the wait.....

"The death sentences automatically go to a nine-judge appeals panel, which has unlimited time to review the case. If the verdicts and sentences are upheld, the executions must be carried out within 30 days.

A court official told The Associated Press that the appeals process was likely to take three to four weeks once the formal paperwork was submitted."

Maybe Mr. Clark should go with Saddam...

"Before the session began, one of Saddam's lawyers, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, was ejected from the courtroom after handing the judge a memorandum in which he called the trial a travesty.

Chief Judge Raouf Abdul-Rahman pointed to Clark and said in English, "Get out."

How the heck did they get their appeals process down to such a fine art....doesn't ours take three to four YEARS?? Oops...I forgot the process:

Guilty ----> continue hanging

Not Guilty ----> Make Guilty ----> continue hanging

Do you think his hanging will be:

• On network TV.
• webcast?
• PPV?
• On Al Jazeera?
• Combination of above?
• Not available?

Hanging is the perfect sentence. Hopefully, along with a democratic government, we didn't give them our justice system too.
