#4 Interestingly, one of Ali Quimiawi's co-defendants, General Hamad, is viewed fairly positively by many Iraqis, even by Shi'a I talked to during the early phases of the Anfal trial. I haven't been able to follow the case since I left, but Hamad (the guy who went to the ~~surrender~~ ceasefire talks with Schwarzkopf at Safwan in '91 had already risen and spoken intelligently several times in the first few sessions. Very unlike Dujayl, where most sat silently, Saddam had his moments but never made any reasonable arguments, and Barzan was the clown.

#6 I'd go with the gas chamber instead of the noose . . . poetic justice, y'know.

#7 Sometimes I just want to run the cat's toe nails across the blackboard or stick my pointy head in the pencil sharpener or jump out of a plane without a chute. To hear the dems, liberals, and MSM speak there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. According to them Chemical Ali was misunderstood and had a bad childhood. A week (maybe two weeks) on Oprah or Dr. Phil would straighten him out.

#8 Chemical Ali, Chemical Ali...I can't help thinking there's a clue in that name.
