[underpants]

[m0nkeyneck]

1. who?

[MojoXN]

2. Who and what are you talking about?

[underpants]

7. Sorry for the red X

OOoops

[DrDebug]

3. Saddam right?

If we are talking about Bush then guilty on all charges.

[underpants]

5. Yes

Is there any other important trial going on or about to start? :shrug:

[Hobarticus]

4. Edit: Oh man, I thought it was MJ...

My bad.

Saddam will be found guilty of Michael Jackson's charges.

[Casandra]

12. Guilty of what?

These charges are much like handing a 2 year old a loaded gun... then saying the child is 'responsible' for firing the gun. I would never say Saddam was guilty, until the perps who handed him all the power and all the weapons were put on trial WITH him!

[Hobarticus]

14. Yeah, my bad..."premature posting" before the image loaded

But, welcome to DU!!!

[yurbud]

6. What kind of pansy liberal wants to know WHO were gonna lynch?

You want to ruin the whole necktie party by asking stupid questions like who it is?

[Walt Starr]

8. Guilty

of course, there are unindicted co-conspirators, such as Rumsfield.

[yurbud]

9. Oh, I didn't see the pic.

[DistressedAmerican]

10. Well Hell, I assumed You Meant MJ!

I suspected not guilty for him.

Saddam Guilt on all counts and sentenced to death.

Not that I doubt they are both guilty, I just doubt there is anything like a fair trial for either of them!

[wuushew]

11. Not guilty

since Saddam was the dictatorial head of state in Iraq at the time, I don't believe that he could break his own laws.

It is very true that Saddam has committed many international war crimes, however he is being prosecuted by an Iraqi government formed only in 2005. Would the newly formed United States government prosecute crimes committed under British rule prior to 1776?

[underpants]

Yeah ... um

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for anyone to think it out in that way.

[wuushew]

22. I don't deny that he is responsible for heinous acts

just that I don't see how he can be guilty under Iraqi law.

You will note that other prominent dictators like Milosevic and Pinochet are coming to justice under international systems of law. To have Saddam tried and most likely executed in Iraq is merely a bone thrown to the Iraqis to appease their vengeance. It is not in my opinion compatible with the logic of government and law.

[underpants]

23. Yeah I know

But the logic of government and law offend gets trumped by pitchforks and torches.

[ET Awful]

13. Yes, he'll be found guilty of at least one (probably all) charges, No it

won't be a fair trial.

Odds are that even with a fair trial he would be convicted (and should be), but I doubt that this trial will even come close to fairness.

[undeterred]

15. wow the trial has been hard on mj- he's unrecognizable

[underpants]

19. LOL

:rofl:

[indepat]

16. Guilty on some charges as long as the accusers are not guilty of anything

Saddam is charged with.

[Gothmog]

17. Just because Saddam is guilty does not justify war

The war was never sold to the American people as being against Saddam. The trial is going to be used to divert attention away from the DSM and WMD to Saddam.

[damntexdem]

18. Guilty on all charges -- as well as his co-conspirator:

Donald Rumsfeld.

[stillcool]

20. With the amount of bull....

shit i've been wading through for the past 4+years, i wouldn't be surprised if Sadaam turned out to be the easter bunny.

[underpants]

21. Powell:"Now as the Security Council can see on this graphic ....."

[Spazito]

24. Seeing as the JUDGES in the case are confident

he will be found guilty, hmmmm, I just don't know what to vote, lol.
