Oldest swinger in town.

He had four death sentences, I don’t know why they waited so long.

I'd say they were hanging around waiting on some paperwork.

Probably has ordered a headstone claiming he isn't dead and that reports of his death was merely propaganda published by the West.

Rich_L · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:31

They didn't hang about.

WoZZeR · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:32

He has managed to evade 3 of the death sentences though.

Col_M · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:33

He pretty much deserved it.

On a related subject I taught myself how to tie a hangman's noose at the weekend, not sure why to be fair but I had some rope and some free time

TFTI etc...

Same for me, albeit a little while ago. I was surprised at how simple the knot actually is considering how smart the finished noose looks.

Do not condone death sentences on any level, we are no better than him by killing him, you have to rise above your emotions in these cases and be the nobler person.

Are you thinking of 'Comical' Ali? Different guy

platypus · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:51

Was it his instigation or Hussein's? I don't know enough about the situation.

SfnX · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:52

It's wasn't our call to make though, unfortunately

Maybe they wanted to conduct all the criminal trials before carrying out the sentence?

I just think it's a 'barbaric' and an unethical form of punishment that rarely serves as a deterrent, I think in cases like these where the crimes of the individual in question our so serious and extreme we ('as a collective') have the chance to make a statement and show the world that we don't have to lower ourselves to their level, that we are better people.

Oh, I thought some bright spark had labeled him 'Comical' as an imaginative and witty spin on his nickname. Oops.
