I think it would have to be an ‘06 story.
How does it go?

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.
What are you doing about today?

Certainly one of the stories of the year. Now will it fall under 2006 or 2007 ??

awad al-Zubaidi, a victim who testified at Saddam’s trial and who was allowed to view the corpse during a private reception at Maliki’s office, said: “When I saw the body in the coffin, I cried. I remembered my three brothers and my father who he had killed. I approached the body and told him: ‘This is the well-deserved punishment of every tyrant.”

I’m waiting, but not breathlessly, for Ramsey Clark’s statement, concerning his client’s justifiable demise.
Here are a few of Clark’s(piss be upon him) in recent days:
21 Dec 06

Clark said that while executing Saddam would incite more violence in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq and the Middle East, removing U.S. forces would bring calm to the region.

“You will have less violence if you remove the U.S. troops immediately,” he said, promising to work toward bringing troops home immediately.

27 Dec 06

Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s life is in President Bush’s hands and should be spared, said former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark on Wednesday.

Clark, a member of Saddam’s defense team, said the decision Bush makes following an Iraqi court’s rejection of Saddam’s appeal “will have long-term consequences for the peace and stability of Iraq, and for the rule of law as a means to peace.”

29 Dec 06

Kristinn Taylor, president of the local Free Republic chapter, was walking through the concourse of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon when he spotted one of Saddam Hussein’s attorneys, Ramsey Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson.
“As we walked by each other in the uncrowded terminal, I made a slashing motion across my neck and said to him, ‘It’s too bad about Saddam,’ ” in reference to the deposed Iraqi tyrant’s failed judicial appeal to avert his death sentence.
At that point, he said, Mr. Clark “glanced back at me with a hangdog look and nodded his head in sad agreement.”

I will continue to follow any and all comments by Clark. He may be considered by some as a “long-time peace activist” or an “American contrarian,” but to me those adjectives are inadequate. I consider him to be Anti-American, a manipulator of legalisms for his own agenda, suffers from senility, and a supreme hypocrit. If America is such an evil force in the world, above all others, then he should renounce his citizenship, move to say…Zimbabwe, and forfeit all of his U.S. retirement pay and benefits, from his service as U.S. Attorney General.

Conjugal visits, cable television, supervised physical exercise, and maybe even Internet access would have made Saddam’s days tolerable, if not enjoyable.

But, alas, Saddam was captured in Iraq, not America. So instead of conjugal visits, large contingents of lawyers, and prison amenities worthy of a king, Saddam got—Ramsey Clark.

Perhaps the Lord does have a sense of humor, after all. That would explain the irony of Saddam Hussein having his very life boiling down to the competency of Ramsey Clark. That is a good one, Lord!

Executing the Law in Iraq.

N2L wrote “I would have recommended and upheld the death penalty, I take no pleasure in the death of a man and regret that it was necessary.”

I totally agree. Yet, and here is the paradox -it is that which makes an execution powerful - it should shock us folks - it should send out a message that this crime was evil and cannot and will not be tollerated,- see how we have to deal with it!?

Judicious use of the death penalty values life - over use devalues it. That is why I believe abolition of the death penalty devalues it’s citizens and contributes to moral relativism.

Nuke - goodness what a moron. I just saw it - I’ve been busy with other things lately.

Guess that article of mine really lit that moonbat up.
