Did Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam Hussein's half brother and Awad Hamed al - Bandar deserve to be hanged?

Question

Both of these men were accomplices to Saddam Hussein when mass murderers of other Iraqi citizens occurred. Should they be hanged? Ibrahim's head decapitated during the hanging, how would you view this?

Answer 1

I do believe they deserved to be hanged, and so did a court of their peers. As for the accidental decapitation of one of the criminals, I fight a macabre sense of poetic justice in it, when I consider the violent deaths they inflicted on others in service to Saddam.

You reap what you sow, don't you?

Answer 2

If you support capitol punishment, and Ibrahim was lawfully convicted of a capitol offense, then you may argue that hanging is justice. Of course, justice during a U.S. sponsored civil war may not exist, but who am I to take sides, I'm safe, half a world away, while people die on a daily basis over there. The choice of hanging is obviously Saddam's enemies sending a message to those who share Ibrahim's & Saddam's political position. It is an insult to the men to die in such a manner. Decapitation during the excution of the sentence is a horrific disgrace to all concerned and only the lowest and most base of any society can see anything other than disgust in such an outcome. Still, ripping a guys head off during a political excution would generate a lot of stand up material for a comedian like the Dice Man. I think the entire situation in Iraq is a complete tradgy, and the best thing America could do is get our troops out of there as soon as possible, and of course pray for all those unfortunates directly involved. God have mercy on us all.
