Dear Papa bear... If you are writing in regards to Massaoui (wrong spelling)being put into prison for life... it was the wiser action.  If we executed him, the Muslims rebels would have used that as another reason to motivate more Iraquians to join their brigades and continue in the terrorist activities... And Massousi (spelling) wanted to be executed... as he figured he would be considered a martyr and remembered... He did not want to be imprisoned for the rest of his life... This life sentence was more horrible to him that death... And we prevented another reason for the terrorists to use his death as a motive for gaining recruits... and more terrorist actions to the US.\nIt was the wiser of the two choices... He will not be happy to spend his life in prison... as he is "young" and he will be there a long time... Hope this helps...

It is my belief that the death penalty is not meant for Mr. Moussaoui.  He is clearly a conspirator and should be  taken at his word. His own testimony should be interpreted as an intent to continue his conspiracies.  \n\nSince any punishment may lead to his martyrdon, I think that his fate should be put in his god's hands.  Take him on a destroyer to the Indian Ocean about 20 miles from the coast.  Supply him with a boogie board and about a dozen fresh superficial cuts, just enough to draw blood.  Dump him in the ocean and point him in the direction of the coast and tell him to start paddling.  This is where the destroyer will come in handy.  Any boats that would try to assist can be blown out of the water.

Saddam was supposed to be hanged to death by now.  Unfortunately he has been sentenced to death after 9 months trial and 3 years have passed since he was arrested.\n\nI'm with majority of Iraqis and they are Kurds.  I would love to celebrate as Saddam was a buture who killed many hundreds of thousands of his own people during his regime.

It's called justice. No sentence without trial first.\n\nTo incarcerate someone without a trial is the kind of thing I would expect of Saddam H. I would like to think the United States is a long way from that kind of human rights abuse.

They have not released nearly enough of the information about what goes on there to make a reasonable assessment of either side's case.\n\nThe court system is not similar to the US's system.  The lawyers and judges are primarily French-schooled and Iraqi law is modeled after France's system.  They do not have the same burden of proof to meet hat the US has.\n\nAnd capital punishment is revenge.  That is the only purpose behind it, capital punishment does not serve as a deterrent, and the victim is not likely to learn anything from it.  Capital punishment is pure revenge, plain and simple.  So by executing Saddam revenge would be the only reason and only result.

Saddam Hussein is still in Iraq. He is being held in a secret US Army prison (for security reasons), which he only leaves to attend court sessions of his trial for  for murders and other crimes against humanity committed during his dictatorship. His trial is being conducted by the Iraqi Special Court.

Oh yes.  Saddam will be hung, and it will be before the spring of 2007.  Its no longer in America's hands.  The Iraqis have spoken up to their years of abuse and genocide, and Saddam will get what he deserves

Because every man is entitled to a fair trial. Although I think Saddam's chips are down, as the death penalty has been requested for him in the Iraq Courts...\n\nHe will get his, don't worry and it will be justice indeed because his own countrymen will be killing him...

The Americans have been gunning for his death all along, and\nwill defiantly impress upon the tribunal to give the Death penalty.\n\nBut you must also know, that even today Saddam is a feared and respected man by many in Iraq.The outcome will not be settled so fast. Did you see the Glaring eyes & stance when in court he recently told the judge"I am the ruler of Iraq and who are you, a foreigner trying to pass judgement on me?"\n\nThe recent spate of bombings in Iraq between the Shias and Sunnis is directly connected with Saddams case. Which country\nwould ever allow a foreign country to set up courts?\n\nNo. The chair will probably decay &break, and the switches/\nwires will rust or melt away.And dont suggest a rope, because there is no such strong rope exists in the World to snap such a\nstrong throat.

I like your line of thinking but I don't know who your talking about.\nIf your talking about saddam... I'd like to see him suffer a little before his death.\nIf your talking about a child molester your death sentence will fit them justly.\nGruesome executions like that may act as a deterrent for criminals. Lord knows jail doesn't scare them any longer. The hardened criminals are fighting to get back behind bars in the U.S.

Tragic and horrible.  However, the reason Saddam was tried for the other murders (not the gassing of the Kurds) was the wmd's he used were supplied by the US, and they didn't want to have to bring in US government agents to testify.
