Shoot Me

The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's trial, Raouf Abdel-Rahman, has said that he and four other judges would announce their verdict, which could carry the possibility of death by hanging for Saddam on October 16th.

Saddam has said that, if he is convicted, he wants to be shot instead of being hanged. Saddam's rationale being that he doesn't want to be treated like a common criminal.

The only problem with this is that Saddam was never in the military, his predisposition for wearing uniforms comes from his time as dictator.
