The non-stop news coverage of Saddam’s pending execution is sick and demented.  It is almost as if a pool exists to guess the day and time.  The whole ordeal is a sad and disturbing reflection of our country.

1. Bush Lies, we attack Iraq without provocation.
2. The Iraqi government is toppled by a foreign invader.
3. Saddam is eventually captured.
4. Saddam is tried by a Kangaroo Court of our making and televised like the circus affair it was.
5. Saddam is found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging.

Larry King even comments on the “ghoulish” nature of this bizarre event.

Former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark denounced the Iraqi Special Tribunal’s death sentences against Saddam Hussein and two co-defendants in a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Clark served on Hussein’s defense team during the trial.

Although the recently completed show trial against Saddam and the co-defendants was founded upon the outcome of previous proceedings, transcripts of the proceedings against the would-be assassins were not allowed into evidence.

Further, near the end of the recent trial, an Iraqi puppet judge told one of the defendants, “You had blood on your hands since you were a child.”

There was no attempt to prove that the recent trial was anything other than a rigged show trial. As Clark said, it represented “victor’s injustice, victor’s justice being an oxymoron.”

The illegal U.S. occupation regime had no authority to try or convict Hussein or any of his co-defendants. Real trials for “crimes against humanity” would have Bush administration officials and Pentagon generals as the defendants.
