Iraq is to restore the death penalty after the return of sovereignty later this month, in a measure which could affect ousted president Saddam Hussein, justice minister Malik Dohan al-Hassan said.

Another friendly reminder that we are indeed STILL WINNING! I wonder who that death penalty is going to be for? I predict a hanging for the Butcher of Baghdad...Mark's Remarks
Even that would be too gentle of a punishment for this demented madman....Of course, he has a far worse fate awaiting him after his trial and punishment....
