Doesn't surprise me... but I wouldn't be surprised if he just got life, to be honest. I wouldn't find it interesting either way.
This response is aimed towards Project and Katie: Use your ####### head for a second; a new concept for both of you, I know, but still. If the tribunal gives Saddam the death penalty, what makes them any better than he was? Think about it.
I agree. I agree. I agree!! Dont you think it would be better if he lived? He'd sit around going insane and stuff. If he died, it would be like setting him free...

They'll kill him. If he's in prison too long he'll somehow escape with assistance from the outside. [/b][/quote] I highly doubt that... escaping a maximum security prison is hard enough, but his look is so distinct it'd be extremely hard to do. Not to mention everyone in the whole US would be looking for him. Tell me why you're so certain they'll kill him, though... on what charges? What proof?
What proof? He killed tons of people! He was a tyrant. They should skin him and drop him from a plane into a giant pile of salt, glass and lemons...

What proof? He killed tons of people! He was a tyrant. [/b][/quote] Yeah. Crimes against humanity. They should give him thousands of papercuts and let him slowly bleed to death.
Hes like 74 years old, give him 5 years in prison and he'll die. But I think he deserves to be tortured.
Do you realize how good of shape Saddam is in? He's in amazing health. Neil -- again, we need proof and crimes to list him as. Do I think he's a guilty and horrible man? Yes. But the topic is about how long Saddam may be in jail, and if we're going to talk about it then we have to talk about the facts of how long he may be in jail (unless he gets the dealth penalty, of course... which is highly likely, but it's just as likely he'd get a life sentence).
WARNING: Don't try any of this at home! Seriously. Some people might try it. incase any of you were wondering exactly how Saddam tortured his prisoners/citizens EDIT: And just for ##### & giggles, here's Osama Bin Laden's Terrorism Bible
I'd keep him in prison, attached to a wall, and he'd get shock sessions (3 taser shots during 10 mins) each hour. How couldn't he go crazy?
I think some of you are being way to creative with the execution/torture stuff. Yes, we could kill him fast and air it on global television, but if you really wanted to kill him wouldn't you want to stretch the process out over several years? I don't think he should be killed, but hey, each to his own.
Geez, are you sure none of you used to be Saddam's top torture advisor? [/b][/quote] No, it was an ancient Aztec torture method.
