Death Penalty For Hussein?

June 23, 2006 | ISSUE 42•25

Chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi called for the death penalty for Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity during attacks on Shiite civilians in the 1980s. What do you think?

  • This is unfair. The man made an honest mistake: he simply thought, when he killed all those people, that he would never have to face the consequences.

  • I'd just hate for this to be one of those cases where, years later, DNA evidence surfaces linking the mass murder to some other dictator.

  • All this death-penalty speculation is premature. We haven't even heard Saddam's closing arguments yet.
