Saddam prefers death by shooting

[Selznak]

LONDON -- Saddam Hussein has told his lawyers that he wants to be shot by firing squad, not hanged, if sentenced to death during his murder trial, which resumes later this month in Baghdad.

Burnt at the stake isn't an option?

You mean he get's to choose?

You mean he get's to choose?

Utah allows you to choose or they did when they executed Gary Gilmore. He chose firing squad I believe.

Hopefully they'll do it on April Fools Day.

I heard electrocution's fun, basically 30 seconds of slow cooking. Repeated as necessary.

As if you thought he couldn't whine anymore...

"I'm a former president, I shouldn't be treated like this! My cell is cold! The food tastes nasty! These clothes look bad on me! This trial is unfair!"

Hey, at least you're not being tortured Saddam, unlike your people who you made suffer under your power for years.

I say give him around with old sparky.

It's a fair request, I would vote to grant this wish.

Even though he shouldn't be allowed to choose, he's made an excellent choice.

I'm sure the countless masses that he had tortured to death would have preferred a bullet to the chest too.

hmmm.... I'm not going to say what I would do to him... lol

 

[believer4God]

yea, u shouldnt i've got a feeling about what you would actually do

hmmm.... I'm not going to say what I would do to him... lol

I personally couldn't kill him or anyone. I could never pull a trigger, or flip the switch, that would kill another human being.

I suppose maybe in different circumstances (a man kills my wife, daughter, son, or other relative) I would have a different opinion.

You're nicer than me lol

 

[believer4God]

hehe

You're nicer than me lol

Gary Giomore didn't murder hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, by way of rape, torture and deadly chemicals.

I don't think such a man should get to chose.

 

[justanobserver]

he wants to be shot? works for me.

Maybe the Iraqis could hold a referendum on which method to use to execute him. I wonder how many write-in votes there would be for 'feet-first through a wood-chipper.'
