>hanging being beneath his station.

It's sufficed for all the other murdering scum in the world.

OTOH, is there a subway network in Baghdad, or a railway station? If so there is probably a stop called Saddam Hussein, right?

See where I'm going here? They really could hang him beneath his station

>>>Quotes from Amnesty International:
>>>
>>>"Obviously we deplore the verdict of the death penalty against Saddam and one of his co-accused.
>>>
>>>We don't consider it was a fair process. The court was not impartial. There were not adequate steps taken to protect the security of defence lawyers and witnesses...
>>>
>>>Every individual has a right to a fair trial, even people accused of the crimes of the magnitude that Saddam Hussein faced, and this has not been a fair trial."
>>>
>>>It should be noted that AI is opposed to the death penalty on principle.
