BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Many Iraqis reacted with jubilation to Saddam Hussein's death sentence Sunday, while others took to the streets in protest.

The Interior Ministry closed two Sunni satellite TV stations accused of inciting sectarian violence, a ministry official told CNN.

Iraqi police and soldiers ordered the employees of First Channel [Zawra] and Salaheddin TV to leave their offices in Tikrit, Hussein's hometown.

That is where as many as 2,000 people protested Sunday's verdict and sentence against the former Iraqi leader, defying the government's curfew

You forgot to add this part to the thread. "Within 10 days, the court will forward the cases of Hussein and three other defendants to the appellate chamber of the Iraqi High Tribunal. Appeals of death penalties and life sentences are automatic."

p.s: thanx for the heads up I just woke up

[KenJi]

The U.S Government had this chance ages ago when Clinton was in power and they had captured Saddamn.

Its about time they follow thrrough this ti me.

^The entire trial was up there w/ OJ.

Such a farce!

When do we get to do that w/ Bush et al?!?!?

Frosty

Well I'd say he probably is guilty for a lot of things.
Just not the things they're charging him with in this trial.

Look at the vicious grab bag he was keeping a lid on over there.
Before the war a woman could wear a skirt in downtown bagdad.
Now the women are switching back to burkas.

[-evil-duerr-]

the mustache is enough reason to hang him.
who the fuck does he think he is? Tom Selleck? Freddy Mercury?

I think not

[beedub]

hmmm - the sentence comes down just before the U.S. midterm election which is this week.

Saddam is a bad man but really, the USA invades for false reasons, over half a million Iraquis killed, they appoint a puppet government and have a trial and will kill the ex-president of Iraq next.

So crass and obvious of Bush and his creepy associates.

*yawn*

Funny the CIA's official statement on Saddam in 96 was they couldn't assasinate him because they never knew which Saddam it was, #3, #7, #9 ?

But now it looks like #5 is gonna get hung.

:285:

Wag the dog is the hot ratings.

[Capt.AA]

this entire trial was an absolute joke. For a world leader he should have been put on in the actual war crimes tribunal and none of this sham garbage he's been going through. He's an evil human being however proper justice must be followed

[mekim]

well, this should fix everything that's wrong over in iraq

[Séguin]

is this going to be televised?

He was a pawn, kept in power to keep any real resistance and peoples movement in check, which would considerably impede US intervention /apropriation of business markets. When his usefulness was over, the very same nation which turned a blind eye for years, swept in with all their freedom fighting/terrorist hunting hypocricy.

Step back and look at the larger picture.

....dont forget it will be CNN fodder for an additional two years.

[a10aleks]

Its interesting but I'll believe it when I see it on you tube!!


If they do hang him do you think they will show it on the news?

[Goodfellow]

meh I'm not too worried, I'm sure he'll break out of prison then rally up some troops and invade the US! capturing George dubya then hanging him! he is a ninja after all.
