Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, sentenced to death for his role in 148 killings in 1982, will have his sentence carried out by Sunday, NBC News reported Thursday. According to a U.S. military officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, Saddam will be hanged before the start of the Eid religious holiday, which begins at sundown Saturday.
The hanging could take place as early as Friday, NBC’s Richard Engel reported.
When do Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the warmongers get theirs for the unnecessary deaths of 3,000 US troops and tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of innocent Iraqis? And what message does this send, not only to the warring factions within Iraq, but to the rest of the civilized world from which we have distanced ourselves?
