I don't agree with the Death Penalty in principle... because until the system is flawless (which I doubt will ever happen) you just never really know... too many people are set free after 10/15/20 years because of new evidence, or dirty cops, etc... Death Penalties are permanent...

I do believe it is a just punishment for certain crimes, but can never be applied justly...

I can just see that 60 years from now, long after the players in the matter are all dead, and the history books have conflicting accounts of what happend under Saddams rule, questions about his guilt or innocence will arise... It's better that he be fairly tried and executed or preferabbly jailed for life then to have the suspicion that foul play was at hand in 60 years...

Mike.

P.S.

I just came across this article which i think puts things in perspective
