#1 84 percent believed him probably guilty of murder and torture.

Is 12% of the population really that stupid? Isn't that the percentage of the population that enjoy Air America? No, I think AA's listening population is MUCH smaller than that. Says alot, no?

#2 An American captured by Saddam's forces was murdered after capture. Arguably, that changes Saddam's status from POW to unlawful combatant.

#3 Perhaps we should give him some of his own justice. I am sure the Iraqi's can find a people-shreadder in working order somewhere.

And of course his daughters are accessable and still have their eyes we can have goughed out in front of him...... /SARCASM

Isn't it interesting how the Red Thingy is all up in an uproar about this while ignoring the real abuses going on in Sudan, North Korea, ..... You dont think they have a political motive do you?

Oh perish the thought!

#4 his attorney should be able to safely fly into Baghdad. What happens after he gets off the plane, however might be rightly called street justice

#5 I'm still waiting for the Red Thingy to demand access to Matt Maupin. I've even emailed them a couple of times to ask them about it.

Never heard back, oddly enough.

#6 A lawyer for former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has alleged that Red Cross documents show his client has been abused while held in detention... "Good health" and "slightly wounded" are marked to indicate Saddamâs condition.

Well, we don't know anything about the nature of the wounds yet, so it's a pretty big leap to assume "the wounds" were caused by mistreatment or torture.

We better produce a Picture Book of Torture guide so these workers can reference gouged out eyes, pureed human bodies, perineum tears, and amputations, and see if Saddam's wounds fall into one of his own areas of speciality, or if his "wound" is more along the lines of the ol schoolyard split lip for a big mouth model.
