A possibility, but the man is guilty and no matter when the sentence was passed, it is the correct one.

Saddam's defense team has been protesting for days that they were not allowed to finish presenting their defense, or to make closing statements. I heard yesterday that one of the US attorneys officially observing the trial had stated that it had not been conducted properly.
If US government pressure was applied to the court to end the trial and announce a verdict before the midterm elections, as Saddam's defense team claims, then I'm afraid they may have miscalculated. It took all of half an hour after the verdict was announced for the first skirmish between Sunnis and the Iraqi Army to start. I imagine the US forces are trying desperately to keep Badgdad buttoned down, but it's still 2 long days until the elections. Something tells me the Sunnis aren't going to cooperate.

No. Republicans are a US political party. There is no Republican Party in Iraq. The Iraqi courts and judges make descisions based upon Iraqi law and proceedure, not US mid-term elections.

I have to explain this simple concept to far too many liberals such as yourself -- here it goes again:
Hussein was tried and convicted in an IRAQI court -- not an American one, and certainly not in a Republican one.
His trial, conviction, and death sentence was not our show. It was the Iraqis'.
If you think that the trial of a former dictator in a foreign court is going to have that much effect on an American congressional midterm election, then you need to go back to high school and repeat a social-studies course or two.

Absolutely , YES. Apparently the west & especially its media seems to know a lot about Iraq & its legal system.
By the way , where is Osama bin laden? may be kept in cold storage for the election day??

Whether it is or is not is not the important thing here.
What is important is that these people are so twisted in this there thinking, that they think questioning the motives of the president and the republican party is a bad thing.
Its quite obviously going to benefit these fools.

He was sentenced by Iraquis, not George Bush. Stop trying to make everything into a conspiracy theory, you make the rest of us liberals look foolish.
