Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark ejected from the courtroom.
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town, as the ousted leader, trembling and defiant, shouted "God is great!"
Powerline reminds us that saddam's execution could take awhile to accomplished based upon a lengthy appeal that is sure to follow.
Saddam didn't like the decision none too much and harangued the tribunal's chief judge as the judgment was read. "You can't decide. You are slaves. God is great. Life is for us and death for our enemies. Life for the nation, death for the enemies of our nation," Saddam said, visibly shaking, his face wrapped tightly in a scowl.
And don't forget the tin foil hat brigade rumminating about 'this convenient kangaroo verdict' just in time for the mid term elections.
Oh! Did I metion former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark was ejected from the courtroom? Buy him a beer, Jimmy.
