Park, you're so deep in the closet you're finding Christmas presents.

Just do it, USA. It's not like we don't have any case at all against Saddam. Even if he destroyed a couple thousand records, hell, Enron did that, and we still...maybe got one of them...well, that was because they were rich. Saddam isn't rich, so no evidence isn't a problem.

Says the person who says we should forgo evidence and a trial and just murder the guy. Sounds suspiciously like someone else . . . oh yeah, Saddam!

Isn't the case and charges to be handled by the provisional Iraqi government? As it does not yet exist until the end of the month, wtf are we to do with Saddaam in the meanwhile, release him?

Seems to me the IRC has targetted the wrong organization for failure to meet due process. While the US may have apprehended him and could if it wanted to press charges it has been stated many times over that he will be tried for crimes against teh Iraqi people by the Iraqi people. Until such time as a governement exists how can this actually happen?

This is not a US issue. As normal this stinks of anti-US bullsh1t.

I never said that. I prefer that we torture him for many, many years. Rough torture, too, not this ***** chem light up the bum ****. Making him read your posts and only your posts for the next several years would be a good start...

On June 30, the U.S. occupation formally ends. That means the U.S. has to release all P.O.W.s. Doesn't mean we have to let them go. We could release him into the custody of the Iraqis.

Why get so freakin pissed you miss the obvious?

Murder by proxy.

[Drake Tungsten]

No it isn't. It's malign neglect.

[chequita guevara]

It would still get you a murder conviction.

[Drake Tungsten]

Yeah, it sure would...

[chequita guevara]

Thowing someone to a mob with murder in its hearts is the same as throwing someone to chummed sharks. It's depraved indifference.

[chequita guevara]

Malign neglect is what the park rangers tried to do to me and Theben and our friend when they dropped us off at our car but took the car keys and hinted that we might be visited by "night riders" . . . had some actually shown up.

[Drake Tungsten]

It's not murder, though.

[chequita guevara]

Depreaved indifference is murder 2.

[Drake Tungsten]

I guess it ain't depraved indifference then, since it sure as hell ain't murder.

If this was directed at me, the point being the US should not be targeted by this missive of the IRC. It is a matter for the Iraqi Provisional gov. It is not for the US to charge him with anything, that is for the Iraqi Provisional Government.

Since it has been stated on numerous occasions that Sadaam is to be turned over to the Iraqis this is simply an attempt via someone at the IRC with an antiUS axe to grind to paint the US as a rogue state.
