Now I don't support the death penalty, but unless you want to haul the governors of numerous US states into court, signing a death warrant for a person convicted of a capital crime isn't a crime.
You can whine about the fairness of the court, but it was a court, and there was a judge and the verdict was guilty.
This wasn't sending people to a death camp because they were jews or homosexuals or gypsys or communists. This was the execution of people convicted of a capital crime.

Really??? I apologize, I was going by the article at the start of
this thread.
This article doesn’t say anything about an Iraqi court case, I have no idea what article you were reading.
This article just says Saddam drove to the area with an armored column and began “interrogating” and executing anyone suspected of having had any role in the plot.
Maybe you should post the article you were citing so everyone can see what you’re talking about.

Do you have any relevant points??? Who said anything about a conviction for committing genocide??? Do you think a conviction for committing genocide should carry a
lighter sentence then a conviction for waging a war of aggression???
