Re: Rushed hanging?

Was the killing of Saddam Hussein rushed to take advantage of the fact that news and paper media would be focusing their
attention to the Funeral of Gerald Ford and James Brown?

No. It was done in such a way as to not get a three ring media circus going. Potentually saving lives.



Did the US adminstration use their power to have him killed, despite that he may have had some legal challenges?


In Iraq. BS and foot dragging just doesn't work like it does in the States. Saddams lawyers had a last minute appeal to the Bush Administration. They just didn't get in the way of Iraqi justice.

Will the media ignore the rush to his execution, as they did the rush to war?


They caught him Three years ago? Because of his support of Terrorism and ego how many do you think have been killed? What do you think was going to happen? They would find him innocent by some technicality and let him go? Or maybe they would convict Bush instead and we would have no choice but to send Bush over there to be executed? Tweet
