9. What's the "principle"?? No capital punishment for anyone? Or ...

... just for the "ruling class"?? I am not aware of any abolition of capital punishment in Iraq.
"The Iraqi president, a vocal opponent of capital punishment, refused earlier this month to sign the first death sentences passed in Iraq since Saddam's ouster in April 2003, delegating his deputy to sign the relevant decree."
It seems he's quite willing to allow a subordinate to sign. :shrug:
