Too bad he's not really a Muslim, otherwise I would starve him, then serve him pork ribs laced with ebola.

Torture would only serve to bring us to his level and martyr him.

I doubt there is a sufficient punishment that somehow rivals his ruthless treatment of the Iraqi people over the last 30 years. Torture implemented on a daily basis would serve no significant purpose other than to further the anti-american sentiment in that region. Now, if OBL were captured, a quick flight to the U.S. in order to exact some kind of public torture, would be extremely pleasing to this member. Sure, Saddam is a wretched and vile motherfucker, but torture almost seems inhumane against his old decrepit ass.

I don't think torture, just to inflict pain is justified in any circumstance. JUSTICE is a different matter.
I'd really like to see him put in a cage, middle of baghdad, and then let people sign up for 1 minute sessions with him. Whatever they please. It might also be nice to have a trail, give him prison and then just throw him in general pop till he gets killed. I'm not sure he should get the death penalty, just a little too easy for him. matt crashburnrepeat |

I hope they put him to the chopping block, but mess it up with a bad blow, and need another couple of whacks. It's happened a "few" times with other executions.

You could always have a trial, at the arraignment tell him that charges will not be pressed at this time and announce when and where he'll be released.

Torture is NEVER justified as punishment.
The only CONCEIVABLE time it could be justified is when it is used on someone known to be guilty to save innocent lives who are in imminent danger. |

We need to move with caution on how we handle El Coward al Tikriti.
1. Get as much intel about the rest of his network of thugs, the WMD's, Scott Speicher, post GW1 military assistance from France, Germany, and Russia, ties with AQ. Use of Kuwaiti or Egyptian interrogators could be benificial. 2. Get him on tape acting like a scared school girl begging for mercy. Then broadcast it to the Arab world to show how much of a coward their great hero, their modern day Saaladin really is. 3. Turn him over to the Iraqi people and let them administer the "Nicolae Ceaucescu" treatment for deposed dictators. |

I'm still in favor of public hanging. Just kill him, let everyone see that he's really dead, and move on. They're going to have enough trouble cleaning up Iraq without constructing elaborate torture scenarios for Saddam.
I'm sure the video of him being taken out to the gallows will be entertaining. |

Some thoughts in no particular order:
We have no legal gripe with him. We wouldn't want to kill him anyway, since that would martyr him and turn "undecided" Iraqis against us. The World Court (spit) doesn't have the death penalty. Handing him over to the Kurds, Shi'ah, Israelis, Turks, et al would also martyr him in the eyes of Asudis and most Iraqis. SO: Send him to Kuwait. They have a legitimate claim on his soon to be cooling carcass. |

He will be the old lion killed by cowards, and the Arab world gains another hero. But if he is executed for murder by [b]Arabs[/b] then all that goes away. We should stay far back. BTW, they ought to chip him while he is recuperating, just in case he gets loose somehow. That would be hilarious. Larry |

Does anyone get the sinking feeling that this could all go horribly awry? I.E. We turn him over to the Iraqis, and loyalists spirit him away because of ineffective/supportive Iraqi guards, etc. Or the courts don't convict him, something along those lines? This has been bothering me since I heard there would not be a US-led trial. |

Quoted: (snip)3. Turn him over to the Iraqi people and let them administer the "Nicolae Ceaucescu" treatment for deposed dictators. Funny you should mention that. My 8 year old son, upon hearing the news this morning that Saddam was captured, walked into the other room and penned, then mailed off, a letter to President Bush (!), in which, he told us, he wrote, in his best 8 yr. old printing and full of misspellings, I guess, that he thought Saddam Hussein should be locked in a room with the families of his victims, and the families should be given baseball bats....a choice of aluminum or wood bats was his option. He said he added: PS You are the best president![:)] Wisdom from the mouths of babes! |

Well, obviously the US wouldn't be the one dishing out the punishment. It would be the Iraqis.
Anyway, a part of me really wants to see this vile loathsome demon be tortured just to make him suffer the same pain he inflicted on so many others. Then again, my morals take over and I can't see that being right. However, a hanging, shooting, or other "quick human" form of execution just doesn't seem like it is right either. Perhaps a trial and then being thrown in a vat of acid as his form of execution would be a good end to him. |

I hope that we hold him until the Iraqis are ready and re-instate the death penalty. Then, let him be tried In Iraq, BY Iraqis, and let the people he oppressed for the last 35 years decide his fate. Let us have NOTHING to do with his outcome except to hand him over to his own (pro-democracy) people.
I hope he isn't somehow handed over to those who are actually loyal followers that somehow break him free one night. In the meantime though......wouldn't it be nice if he was 'interogated' once or twice by 'non' US interogators (Kuwatis, Israelis, Saudis - all of whom have legitimate gripes with the guy) who really know how to ask the tough questions and get answers? I, personally, would like to see him have a date with that damned chipper that he and his litte bastard sons used to feed their fellow countrymen to. Of course, his fate would be decided like I said, by Iraqis. NOW THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE! |

If Saddam was tried and convicted under Muslim law for murder, they would chop off his head in a public ceremoney.
Personally I would like to see put in prison for the rest of his life. Nothing beats the mental anguish like being humiliated in front of people whom he formerly oppressed. |

I agree the trial and punishment should be handled by anybody but the US.
If the Iraqis are allowed to try him, Saddam will most likely find sympathetic members of the court/jury that will go easy on him come sentencing time. And what happens when he is convicted? Let's say he is sentenced to life in prison, the most likely scenario. At some point in the future he will be freed by supporters, or maybe even pardoned by the current Iraqi administration. On the other hand, he may also get assassinated ala' Lee Harvey Oswald. (And yes, it was a conspiracy!) Panzer Out |

I vote that Saddam, upon conviction, meets his end by way of profuse rectal bleeding meted out by Jessica Lynch and her jammed M16.
On pay-per-view, of course. |

Put in a cell, just like everyone punished by a decent people of a decent country. Let him be forgotten, and not martyred. Let him supplicate himself with appeals if he wants; it won't matter much.
Let him watch as his people have their chance to succeed in a liberal (in the correct sense, not the current leftist sense) society. |

I’m usually against the death penalty for moral reasons, even for murder (I know, I’m probably a minority here). However, this is one of the few cases where I wouldn’t really be bothered by it.
However, using torture as a punishment, IMHO, would bring us down to the level of certain unnamed cultures/religions that still practice it. A trial by Iraqi’s seems to be the best idea, as they are the ones who have been victimized by him; plus, the verdict would probably be seen as more “legitimate” to the Iraqi people. |
