Saddam Hussein Confesses

Saddam Hussein has confessed to crimes, and should be hanged "20 times". That is at least the view of Jalal Talabani, his successor as Iraq's president.

Quote:

"Saddam deserves a death sentence 20 times a day because he tried to assassinate me 20 times".

Adding:

"There are 100 reasons to sentence Saddam to death".

Conveniently, Talabani is refusing to sign the death warrant should one be forthcoming.

His excuse is that, as leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, he had once signed up his party to an international ban on capital punishment.
