Saddam Watch
Here is Sweet reporting from Iraq.
An Iraqi appeals court has ruled that former dictator Saddam Hussein should be executed within 30 days, Iraq's high tribunal announced today.
The nine-judge appeals panel upheld the Iraqi High Tribunal's November 5 verdict in Saddam's trial over the execution of 148 Shia villagers following a 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam in the village of Dujail.
Judge Arif Shaheen told reporters the verdict was final and legally binding, clearing the way for Saddam's procession to the gallows.
"It cannot exceed 30 days. As from tomorrow the sentence could be carried out at any time," the judge said, after confirming that the execution verdict had been upheld and that the trial process was complete.
CORRECTION: Sweet called to tell me she did not say she was reporting from IRAQ She said THE RACK, a local rib joint. I apologize for the error and assure you that it will not happen again today. Or tomorrow. The next day, who knows.

I'm sure most people know that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Saddam's killing sprees.
Why don't other countries find genocide such an outrage
that they would step in and do something about it?
Is the rest of the world waiting for the US to do something in Darfor? (sp?)
Didn't the rest of the world waited for the US to do something in Bosnia?
SHAME ON THE REST OF THE WORLD!
I believe other countries wait for the US to step in for two reasons.
One, they either don't have, or don't want to spend, the money and equipment.
And two, they know we will do it.
And yes, shame on them.
