The world will be a better place when Saddam is dangling lifeless from a rope.

Why the rush? Think of the pay-per-view. Think of the luxury boxes at the hanging. Rush Limbaugh could have raffled off a ticket to pull the cord (or whatever they do). They're going about this all wrong. Lots of wackos here who would pay cold, hard cash to get in on this.

Lawyers looking to block this in U.S. courts. I'm not sure any court system in the U.S. is going to stop this execution.

The thing that makes Saddam's death EVEN worse for him is that tomorrow is like Christmas(Eid) day for us Muslims.

C~T -

Are both Eids celebrated the same way? I know there's the one that ends Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr, which was in October this year. Tomorrow, Eid Al-Adha, marks the end of this year's hajj, right? And pardon my spelling here.

Latest off the wire.

By MATT APUZZO
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S. judge on Friday was considering a last-minute request to delay Saddam Hussein's execution.

Lawyers for the former Iraqi president asked U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly for a stay late Friday afternoon. Kollar-Kotelly held a brief hearing by telephone and was expected to issue a written decision Friday night.

No ruling had been made by 0115GMT.

The request was a long-shot based on a creative legal argument. Attorneys argued that because Hussein also faces a civil lawsuit in Washington, he has rights as a civil defendant that would be violated if he is executed. He has not received notice of those rights and the consequences that the lawsuit would have on his estate, his attorneys said.

"To protect those rights, defendant Saddam Hussein requests an order of this court providing a stay of his execution until further notice of this court," attorney Nicholas Gilman wrote.

A similar request by the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, Awad Hamed al-Bandar, was denied by a federal appeals court Friday night. Al-Bandar also faces execution. The Justice Department argued in that case that U.S. courts have no jurisdiction to interfere with the judicial process of another country.

Figuring the guy has billions stashed away somewhere, wouldn't it possible that one of his nephews could fork over a million or two to some impovershed prison guard, drag in some bum who looked at his sister at the market, throw a hood over his head and up up up he goes....while Saddam gets a shave and a hairjob in Parcells #4, and a plane ticket to Gstaad?

You know it's possible. Someone has to check.

Sure. I think that's called the Ken Lay way.

Interesting report on hanging on CNN. It's interesting that there will be no pain once the noose is tightened because it's instant paralysis.

Just noticed Webby's "news" update at the top of the board. Good call Webby.

I could've done without the hanging demonstration.
