    • Dead Tyrants & Global Justice

      Posted by Orato

      As Saddam Hussein awaits execution I can’t help looking back at 2006 and feel that it should be remembered as the year for Global Justice. Tyrants like Pinochet, Milosevic and Saddam finally met their fates. While one took his crimes to the grave others like Hussein are hours away of facing the Tribunals’decision.

    • AWB and Saddam's bunker

      Posted by SoxFirst

      Accused of paying bribes to Saddam Hussein, executives from Australian wheat export agency AWB could face charges under anti-terror laws, but what about those footprints left by the Australian Government? AWB associates have also been linked to the Bush administration.

      "Look at my eyes", gas victim tells Saddam trial

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

      Former Kurdish guerrilla fighter Karwan Abdullah Tawfiq took off dark glasses to show the swollen lids of his eyes, which he said were permanently damaged by nerve poison that had completely blinded him for six months. "Even my children are scared to see my eyes when I remove my glasses." "Let the court look at my eyes," he said, lifting his glasses. "I want the camera to zoom in on my eyes."

    Saddam Hussein executed

    Paul, for me it’s about coming face to face with our government’s (and our tax dollars) funded activities. I feel disgusted by this execution – in part because it’s just another failure of George Bush to see the difference between justice and injustice, democracy and chaos. Whatever you think of Sadaam, he faced hanging bravely – and the hooded masks of the executioners made them look like cowards. All in all – I see this whole event as another failure of U.S. imperialism. Good for Haliburton and none of us.

    I don’t see this as a victory. Admittedly, this man was a horrible monster. His sons were low-rent criminals. But, I think we could raise the bar a little and maybe show we’re more civilized.
    I don’t feel bad that he’s gone. But. I feel bad.

    As an American I take no satisfaction in the execution of someone who didn’t receive a fair trial.
