Blue Crab Boulevard (Gaius) Saddam To Hang?
It appears as if the Iraqi government is set to hang Saddam Hussein. While it really isn’t something to celebrate, the sentence is justified, I think. There are some people who forfeit their right to live in the world by their own actions. Saddam is one of those.
Leaning Straight Up (Karl) Christmas may come late, But Saddam expected to die this weekend

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Three Years Later, A ‘Rush’
A little more than three years after Saddam Hussein meekly came out of his spider hole, the Iraqis have finally removed the last obstacle to his execution. Saddam attempted, with some success, to transform his trial into a political showpiece, using it to rail against the American occupation and to inspire the Ba’athist remnants to terrorist attacks. Despite having several members of the court assasinated or attacked, the tribunal convicted Saddam for crimes consistent with the evidence.
