I find it difficult to watch question time. When it starts to get too 'deep' I find I just get frustrated. There is a certain cut off point, and this was it for me last night, and here's why.

'He told BBC One's Question Time he had no evidence but the timing of the verdict was "deeply suspect".'

The words of one Malcolm Rifkind.

Maybe he should get his facts right before he comes onto national television and further makes a mockery of the facts thrown onto the public regarding Iraq.

Firstly, SADDAMS lawyers had also called for it to be postponed.

Secondly, it was delayed last month because of requests from the tribunal reviewing the stacks of evidence.

Indeed just a couple of days before the verdict the chief prosecutor was saying it might be delayed further.

If you think all these people were trying to help out the american government, you are subscribing to baseless conspiracy theories. The Iraqi government has been plenty combatitive to the Americans.

Not to mention, it would be a huge risk that could have backfired. Massive violence was expected, that thankfully didn't occur, but what if it had? I'd imagine another couple of seats would be lost for the GOP.

 

The court in Baghdad has found that there was systematic, widespread and extremely grave violations of human rights and of international humanitarian law committed by the regime of Saddam Husseien. But is the death penalty the answer?

No!
