| SaddamÂ’s second trial for murder of 100,000 Kurds opens August 21 |
| 2006-06-28 |
 He and six co-defendants will face charges of having killed an estimated 100,000 Kurds and destroying thousands of Kurdish villages in the 1980s, including the chemical attack in Halabja, Kurdistan, in 1988 that killed some 5,000 civilians, mostly women and children. In a trial that began last October, Saddam and seven co-defendants are accused of killing Shiites in Dujail in 1982. The defense is to present its final arguments in that trial next month. |

| #2 A prediction if you will. He will be sentenced to death, but never hung. He will spend the rest of his miserable life being tried for and convicted of a myriad of crimes and by the time his appeals and trials are over he will pull a Milosovic and croack off in his cell. |

| #1 Um, what happens if he's sentenced to death in the first trial? Do we have to wait until the second trial's over before he kicks heels at the end of a rope? Will there be third and fourth trials? The man could live for another forty years, accumulating death sentence after death sentence, and consuming more in legal resources than he stole in oil profits. |
