Saddam's reaction
Saddam Hussein has been convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging.
The former Iraqi leader was convicted over the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail following an assassination attempt on him in 1982.

I thought the verdict was set before the trial started.

Just watched it on the BBC. Its amazing that he just looks like a dejected old man now and not the once influential figure he used to be.

Default My 2p worth...

Execute him or let him go with no conviction...the only difference it will make is which side will be doing the shooting.

Kill him and he becomes a poster-pinnup martyr for all arab / muslim people with an axe to grind against the 'west'.

Let him go and he becomes a hero to 'insurgents' and terrorists for beating the US.

The verdict has never been in question. There is no way on earth the US or UK would allow a Saddam-freindly judge. A sunni judge at the head of that trial? Not a prayer.

It was said this morning that he could well be in a state of legal limbo while appeals and other trials are completed.

He could end up commiting suicide before he gets anywhere near the gallows.
