Two others were hanged

By Cao on 12/31/2006

Softly I’ve seen just a few reports that say two others were executed on the same day as Saddam Hussein: former director of the Mukhabarat intelligence service, his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti, and Iraq’s former chief judge Awad Ahmed Al Bandar Al Sadun. Both men were also sentenced to death by hanging for the killing [...]

Bearing Witness

By Cao on 12/31/2006

SADDAM’S EXECUTION IS JUSTICE FOR DUJAIL
At the New York Post, John Byrne, a sergeant who worked with the Shiites to tell their story in front of the court, tells his story.

December 30, 2006 — ‘Hello, my friend!”
“America good!”
“Bush good, good!”
“Saddam donkey!”
Phrases like those would greet me on my nearly daily trips to the city [...]

hanging video, uncut

By Cao on 12/30/2006

Justin at Right on the Right has the entire thing. The entire hanging video of Saddam Hussein. Grainy, taken on a cell phone, and from below the scaffold where he’s standing.
Well it appears as though Justin’s site went down – it couldn’t handle the traffic from people trying to view it. (His [...]

By Cao on 12/30/2006

This is from about two days ago. I was debating about putting it up, but there are relatives contacting me who are concerned for their guys. According to the Sacbee, the men identified themselves on tape.
The men identify themselves as John Young, 44, of Kansas City, Mo.; Jonathan Cote, 23, of Gainesville, Fla.; [...]

Demand Justice For the Pendleton 8

Demand Justice For the Pendleton 8

By Cao on 12/30/2006

We should seriously be questioning the Bush Administration’s sanction of a policy to set up our own soldiers in order to take the fall to prove to the world that the Iraq government and justice system is legitimate. This is despicable lying behavior that sacrifices our own.
In an article 32, you don’t [...]

Saddam Hussein is dead

Saddam Hussein is dead

By Cao on 12/29/2006

As per Fox News, from Al-Arabiya television, Saddam is dead.
The Huffpo is already asking if we feel safer.
No, this won’t be any different, although I’m certain the celebration of EID will have a special meaning for the Iraqis, particularly those in Kurdistan. Could be the survivors of the dead, some of whom were turned [...]

Saddam to hang at dawn on Saturday

By Cao on 12/29/2006

See the whole cartoon at Cox and Forkum with commentary. (I didn’t have enough time to re-size it)
It’s official.

BAGHDAD, Dec 30 (Reuters) – Saddam Hussein will hang at dawn on Saturday, Iraqi officials told Reuters, setting a dramatic end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades before a U.S. invasion and [...]

Activists of the Communist Party of India protest in Hyderabad against Saddam Hussein’s death sentence (Mahesh Kumar/AP)
The communist activists’ signs look the same no matter what part of the world they’re protesting in. Thanks to the AP for giving them PR. Like they don’t get enough.
Here’s another one (I’ll add pictures to this [...]

While journalists & mosques show videos of terrorist snipers

While journalists & mosques show videos of terrorist snipers

By Cao on 12/29/2006

I was totally appalled to see (via Darth Dilbert) that the media is propping terrorist sniper videos.

But I’m not surprised.
While journalists show videos of terrorist snipers, our marines and other guys in uniform are getting shot by them.
This is the story of Kirby when he first appeared in the media. Kirby is a [...]

James Brown passed away Christmas morning, he was 73

By Cao on 12/29/2006

James Brown passed away on Christmas morning. There is talk of his girlfriend and their 5-year old child being locked out of his estate, but I guess one of the issues in question is whether or not they were really married.
I really appreciated some of his music. Two of the better-known songs he’s [...]
