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 this Sunday.
If there was ever a case to be made for the death penalty, Saddam’s probably a prime candidate. I just don’t happen to think there’s a case to be made for the death penalty. And there certainly isn’t a case to be made for the type of chest-thumping, morbid celebration we’re about to be subjected to by the wingers.
