The guy killed at the beginning of the war?

Well now he's been captured!!

:D

What is it with the Iraqis and their moustaches? Talk about Attack of the Clone. :D

When do you expect 'em to capture Uday and Qusay?

Looks like the military have adopted a new emblem:

Nice resurrection, Ripley has nothing on him. now Muslims will flock to him believing he is Allah's chosen one coming back from the dead like that.</font>

Interesting. I went to other news sources to confirm it. Sorry, but after the BBC's gaff on insisting to report the US forces were not in Baghdad (when we were all watching footage of them at the airport), and their subsequent chastising, I don't trust their news on Iraq. They're still one of the most reliable sources, it's just that with Iraq they are openly unabashedly and stubbornly anti-US and UK, and it jades their reporting.

Sorry TL, that's the World Service, a whole different part of the BBC.

(I'm suprised that you believed that about the World Service without corroboration from an unbiased source)

That's quite funny because I personally find the BBC to be blatently *pro* US/UK!

Curiouser and curiouser said Alice.

Seems like someone's been tellin porkies to us all ;)

<font color=cadetblue>I wonder what they're planning on doing with him...Are they going to put him on trial for war crimes?</font>

I had a funny feeling about him being dead from the beginning. Since they never could come up with any evidence i mean.

Ha! That's not Chemical Ali. That's Saddam Hussein. Yeah I know its not but hey the guy looks just like him. Cousin eh? More like his brother. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I didn't know there was a distinction. I like the BBC. Just like I like the NY Times. I have been sorely disappointed this year to find that both have had issues.

And, except when I accidently click one of Attalus's or MagiK's news links, I don't read the NRO. ;)

Well why not just bury the bastard,he was dead?right?

Well one thing they could do with Ali is hand him over to the Kurds. I think they would come up with a suitable punishment.

He doesn't deserve a quick death, let him rot in prison.

Not really surprising is it? So who else is alive? Or who else is dead...

Maybe someone is practicing the dark art of Necromancy. :D


Saddam casts Animate Dead: Chemical Ali
Chemical Ali: *Roar* Uuuuunnnggghh...Eat brain!' *Growl*
Saddam: Go forth my minion, go forth and kill the invaders!

They can go ahead and bomb him now. Its seems they finally have solid intel on his location so they can't miss. Just put him in a house in an Iraqi neighborhood and let a couple 500 pounders loose on his ass. That was good enough before...why not do it now..is that bad?

Really lets just kill him...no need for a trial or anything messy like that...heresay is good enough.

Oh sorry I was being sarcastic... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

He should get a trial.

When I said bury him I didn't think to kill him again just bury him,as he is!

<font color=cadetblue>Nah, he deserves a worse fate.</font>

I'm going to use your quote a little Chewie. I hope that's OK. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I support the notion that this man(?) should get a trial and thereafter his sentence. It may be death or it may be a lifetime in prison. It's not for me to decide.

But reading several comments in this thread, and I don't think all of them is serious, I wonder do you really support that men like this should be executed without a trial? Should this be implemented in all cases? Take Milosevic as an example. He committed several "crimes". Should he have been executed at once?

In between the trial and the sentence there should also be a verdict maybe? ;)

Naah! Why would we need that? Come on Donut, you and I both know what the verdict would be. ;) :D But OK let's throw in a verdict just for the fun of it. And sorry about hijacking your thread some.

I hadn't even noticed the hijacking Willow!

Yes - he's guilty, I know that, so why bother with a show trial, that smacks a bit of the old style communists!

Actually it could be related to the Nurnberg process. And chemical-Ali has created crimes against human kind so there should definitely be a trial before there is any verdict. But in this trial the defendant won't be innocent until proven otherwise. But I still belive there should be a trial. Otherwise we're back to 'the winner takes it all'. ;)
