It seems a bit biased, but yes thank you.

Well, yeah, it's biased. It came from Saddam's defense lawyer so I suppose it should be taken with a grain of salt, but I do think it is very possible that the release of the verdict could have been manipulated.

Nothing political is really by accident. It's all planned, and prepared before hand. I wouldn't doubt if that principle applies here.

And if you were the party in control at the time of Saddam's capture and there were elections upcoming, I think you'd probably use every tool you had to try and sway the votes. This is another one of those tools.

While I wont disagree that terrorism is an issue, it is most definitely used as a cheap political tactic to win elections or an argument.[/quote:63810]
as opposed to threatening a young voting demographic with a draft if they dont vote for you?

Sarcasm is simply a defensive and juvenile method to get out of having an intelligent conversation.

^^^where's the sarcasm here?....where's your "intelligent" response?

Youre the one trotting out the usual anti US rhetoric at evey turn, and
you've got the nerve to talk about intelligence and provocative thinkers, lol.
