Saddam aides 'to die this week'
The Iraqi government has said that the executions of two senior associates of former leader Saddam Hussein, will take place some time during the week. "A day ending with a "y", but before the next round of NFL playoffs.." This is despite an appeal from the new UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, that they should not go ahead. "STFU" Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the execution orders for Barzan al-Tikriti and Awad al-Bandar had been signed, and there was no way back. except down... Saddam Hussein's execution has led to a chorus of international criticism. from the usual Chorus I must be getting really old. My mind's going. For the life of me, I can't recall the usual suspects's chorus of international criticism for these beauzeaux' victims. Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's intelligence chief, and Awad al-Bandar, a former chief judge, were convicted along with Saddam Hussein for their part in the killing of 148 Shia Muslims in the Iraqi village of Dujail in the 1980s. Mr Dabbagh said that while the government respected the UN's view, it also had to respect the victims of Saddam Hussein and his henchmen. Hmmm... Y'mean they can't recall, either? "hench-victims have rights too" "Certainly, the execution orders have been signed and are ready to be implemented," he said. "There are some technical preparations that need to take place in order to carry out the court's decision." an extra couple ropes... Saddam Hussein was hanged on 30 December amid chaotic scenes. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who had been criticised for saying nothing on the issue, has now joined the critics. What happened to his spine? Has Cheri removed it along with his balls? His officials now say the prime minister does believe the way Saddam Hussein was taunted and filmed before he was hanged was completely wrong.
