A member of Saddam Hussein's legal team said Sunday that she intends on suing the Iraqi government at the International Court of Justice over the taunting of the former leader by executioners on the gallows. Bushra al-Khalil told the Saudi daily al-Watan that she will sue the Iraqi authorities for allowing two of Saddam's personal foes to attend the execution and over reports that executioners had abused the dead body of the former leader. She claimed that Shiite leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim and Muqtada al-Sadr were present at the execution.She added that the court will be asked to authorize that Saddam's body be exhumed for an autopsy to check for abuse signs on his body. The Shiite al-Hakim clan accuses Saddam of having ordered the execution of hundreds of opposition Shiite leaders, while Muktada al-Sadr accuses the Iraqi leader of having killed his father Mohammad al-Sadr. A short footage of the execution recorded on a mobile phone and published on the internet showing Saddam being taunted by the executioners before hanged stirred anger among Iraq's Sunnis and drew a wave of criticism from the international community. In the video, witnesses are heard telling Saddam to "go to hell" and praising al-Sadr as the Iraqi leader kept his calm second before hanging.

The above is from YNETNEWS.com. I have to ask a question, WHO GIVES A s***?!?!?!

Saddam stopped being a human being the minute he killed 200.000 Kurds with gas. The fact that the Lawyer wants to sue isn’t too surprising to me, she’s a lawyer and it’s her nature to sue. Why would anyone other than his lawyer, still wanting to get what I am sure is a hefty paycheck from the Iraqi or possibly U.S. Government, care if this animals feelings were hurt just prior to paying the price for his killing of 140 plus people in some province most people have never heard of. Some people are talking about the fact that he never stood trial for the deaths of the Kurds but it doesn’t matter, the fact is he earned his execution.

Now they bring up the fact that Muqtada al-Sadr was present and that Saddam killed his father, what is the problem with that. Don’t get me wrong al-Sadr has his drawbacks and they are and have been many, but we didn’t carry out the execution, the Iraqi’s did and under their laws he has a legal right to be there and see the death of the animal that killed his father. Not to mention the fact that these people are crying over a person who is forth in line in resent history of mass murderers; Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and Saddam. (Before some liberal says it, no Bush is not a mass murderer. Call this a Pre-Ememptive Strike)

Personally I wish they would have first televised it from rope cinching to neck cracking to s***ting himself. Then to really make it fun, drag his corpse out into the street and let anyone who was affected by his tyrannical reign piss on him just before they lit his body ablaze for the entire world to watch. I would not have had a problem and would even have paid for pay-per-view to see it. This sadistic son of a bitch got off way too easy in my book.

I second the motion, so to hell Saddam...
