Yep ... lawyers ordered to pick up his things. Newsmax has 'breaking news' that he will be executed tomorrow. Some Iraqi cabinet members are supposedly quoted as saying they want to wait at least a month. Don't know if they really said that or if it's disinfo put out to confuse the situation and gain time for Saddam.

They want to 'give the Iraqi people a gift for the holy day'. Yep. That's what I read. And for the relatives of the hundreds of thousands of victims ... it very well could be a gift.

Is there a high holy time at the Haj? Like for Christmas it's midnight. Does the Haj have a high holy time? If so ... that is my prediction...since those who are making this happen are calling it a 'gift to the Iraqi people for the holy day'.
he official witnesses to Saddam Hussein's impending execution gathered Friday in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone in final preparation for his hanging, as state television broadcast footage of his regime's atrocities.
The Iraqi government readied all the necessary documents, including a "red card" _ an execution order introduced during Saddam's dictatorship. As the hour of his death approached, Saddam received two of his half brothers in his cell on Thursday and was said to have given them his personal belongings and a copy of his will.
An adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST. Also to be hanged at that time were Saddam's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.

The man is guilty as all sin that is for sure but all of you rooting for his death is just bloody ghoulish and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

The answer to that is very simple. Because he killed/raped and who knows what too approximately 1.5 million people, that is why.

I do not support the death penalty, even for monsters like Saddam.
Still, this has such a morbid circus going on around it that even I found myself falling into it's trap.
I imagined a guy who dies and finds himself in line before the pearly gates and he knows he didn't live a real clean life. He cheated on his taxes and his wife etc, etc....then he looks up and Saddam is in line right before him and he just yells, "YES!!!" cause he knows he'll look like a saint when they get thru with Saddam....
This is a very morbid situation, very morbid indeed....
