Saddam Execution Rushed to Hide Information — Russian Ex-PM Created: 15.01.2007 10:40 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 20:38 MSK MosNews The execution of Saddam Hussein was rushed to prevent the former Iraqi leader from revealing facts that could compromise the United States, former Russian prime minister Yevgeny Primakov has said. Saddam was executed in an “unexpected” way so “he could not have the last word” and reveal compromising information on the relationship between the United States and his former regime, the PTI news agency quoted Primakov as saying in a televised interview on Sunday. If Saddam Hussein “had said everything (he knew), the current United States president (George W Bush) would have been greatly embarrassed,” said Primakov, a Middle East expert formerly on good terms with Saddam. Primakov highlighted the military cooperation between Washington and Baghdad during the 1980s when the United States was fighting the fundamentalist threat from Iran. He also alleged that Saddam made a deal with Washington before the 2003 invasion of Iraq to allow the United States to occupy the country without meeting any opposition. Primakov made two confidential visits to Iraq at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly before the US-led invasion of the country. Saddam was executed for crimes against humanity on December 30, which coincided with the first day of the Eid al-Adha feast and drew widespread Muslim condemnation. Oh really i did not know that duh |

"prove his innocense" and being innocent are different ;/ criminals plead innocent in court all the time and they're given a chance to prove it but it doesn't necessitate actually being innocent; it just means there's a trial where all evidence is submitted before they are commited guilty. "Innocent until proven guilty" isn't as literal as it sounds ;/ also, I think geggy's more concerned with the evidence coming out in trial that would pin the US than he is with saddam actually being innocent. |

| derrida | The killing of 150 men and boys in Dujail wasn't a genocidal act. And they didn't charge him for genocide for it. The genocide charge (applied to Saddam's anti-Kurdish campaigns), was one of the charges that was dropped. | |

| ScruU2wice | oh. | |

| Grislygus | They hung him for a single genocidal act, they're dropping charges for any other ones he may have committed. | |
| Jan 9th, 2007 02:29 AM | ||
| ScruU2wice | What did they execute him for if they're dropping the charges of the crime of genocide? I though that's why they hung him | |

| Abcdxxxx | "he was executed just before he could present a case in attempt to prove his innocence" | |

| kahljorn | yea, me either, but I could definitley see geggy trying to pass the buck from sadam to the United States. | |
| Jan 9th, 2007 12:41 AM | ||

| kahljorn | that was mostly a rhetorical question. | |

| Geggy | Wait where did I say he was innocent? | |
| Jan 8th, 2007 09:45 PM | ||
| Grislygus |
Oh, yeah. All of those screaming tantrums he had in court? Just a diversion until proving his innocence was a sure thing. I thought everybody knew that. How old is Geggy, anyway? |

| Abcdxxxx | Saddam's innocence? WHAT INNOCENCE, YOU IMBECILE? | |
| Jan 8th, 2007 09:26 PM | ||
| Geggy | Think about it saddam pled innocent to the genocide of kurds and in the most fortunate time for the US politicans, he was executed just before he could present a case in attempt to prove his innocence. In any case now saddam cannot reveal any unwished parts of history during the media attended trials that could implicate the americans who supplied the weapons and order the attack on iran. Good thing al-maliki, the all new iraq dictator installed by the bush administration, rejected all demands to stop the swift execution so he can protect his US buddies. | |

My only question: Are they pardoning anyone else or still charging them? |
|
| Jan 8th, 2007 07:16 PM | ||
| El Blanco | That would actually be really cool. Although, you wouldn't get the satisfying snap out of his neck anymore. | |

Oh yeah to silence him from telling the world what they already know. Cause the guy who supplied the gun that Dick Cheney used to shoot his lawyer, HE is responsible and the man who killed hundreds of thousands of people IS TOTALLY INNOCENT! BTW they aren't pardoning him they are merely not trying him cause he is already dead and it is a waste of time. They can't dig him up and hang him again. dumbass. |

| Abcdxxxx | It's their version of impeaching a President and then pardoning him several years later. It's the whole "here's your honor through death, then we'll forgive you" code. | |
