I dont think he will, I think it would cause too much trouble,which lets face it the Iraqis can well do without. but Im sure it will be life ,what do you think? Should he get the death sentence?

I think he should, but as you say, he probably wont, lets hope he is locked away for the rest of his life if nothing else though.

i dont understand why they arnt doing anything about it...it looks like they are just sitting back, they finally caught him after all hes done and they do nothin, if they sya they are thinkin about givin him the death sentance, then they should get on with it ...stop dawdling.....one less baddy in this world:P lol XxX

I think its sunday when he gets sentenced, so we shall see then. Im anti death penalty, but he should be made to spend his remaining days in gaol,thats for sure:-)

yeh i spose......i heard sumtihn about oslama bin laden the other day, apparently he had died, did you or any1 else hear about that?

Hi Sophie,I did hear a rumour,but I think thats all it was, I think hes still out there somewhere,mores the pity:-((

I think he should be given to the families of all the ones he has had killed over th years - wouldn't give much for his chances of survival. I think the death sentence is too good for him. Solitary confinement for the rest of his natural if anything! Nasty bit of work!!!!! PP

As I said on a previous occasion,instead of getting him out of the hole he was hiding in, they should have lobbed a couple of grenades into it and put the top back on,( As I would have done) problem solved,no trial, no expense and summary justice would have been served. Hal.

When Graeme was training to go to Iraq they were shown footage of what he had done to the Kurds, evil isnt the word for it, The troops are prepared for big problems after tommorows sentence, I dont think he deserves to live, Caz xxxxxx

Thanks Sue, Graeme is due home in a month but I feel this may be the most dangerous bit about to come, I am trying to distance it in real life but let it out on here, Cheers mates, Caz xxxx

Hi Caz as you know i'm thinking of the Men and Women out there, and that we are all behind you and your Family, we all here for you if you needs us Lil

Yeh he deserves the long goodnight

the devil looks after his own ive a feelin hell escape punishment he deserves, hes such a snake isnt he deserves punishment and to suffer as did all those at his hands

I would like to see him get the death sentence. If he,s given a life sentence, I,m terribly afraid that his supporters would use him as a pawn in some horrendous hostage situation.

He will probaly get a tag and 6 months community service the way the world is going now!

Thanks Lil, Sadam is evil through and through, You mean a lot to say that! Caz xxxxx

Saddam sentenced to death Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging. The ex-president, who was deposed in the US-led invasion three years ago, was convicted of crimes against humanity by a court in Baghdad. The charges relate to the killing of 148 Shias in the village of Dujail in 1982. Saddam's trial heard that he ordered the slaughter in revenge for an assassination attempt. Sectarian tensions have been running high in Iraq in the run-up to the hearing, with a major security clampdown in force. A 12-hour curfew imposed in Baghdad and three other provinces - including Salahuddin, which contains Saddam's home town of Tikrit. The reaction in Iraq to the news will be watched closely around the world including in the US where mid-term elections are just two days away. As the verdict was delivered a visibly shaken Hussein shouted 'God is great' and 'Life for the glorious nation, and death to its enemies' His half brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the head of Iraq's former Revolutionary Court, were also sentenced to death by hanging for their part in the killings. Former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan was convicted of murder and given a life term, while three other defendants were convicted of murder and torture and sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. One defendant was acquitted for lack of evidence. Hussein's defence team had said they were expecting a death sentence before the hearing in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, and are apparently preparing an appeal. He still faces further trials over a number of other alleged crimes.
