Saddams Life Expectancy

i was just curious as to peoples opinion on what's to happen to Saddam.

I'm pretty sure the Iraqi provisional government will execute him ater a short trial.

He will recieve the death penalty as soon as the government is established. It will be very interesting to see how many of his followers will try to bust him out of prison in the next few months though (if any are left)...

I dont think that his followers will be the ones to bust him out If that happens. My money would be on Al Queda or affiliate cells as far as people who have the want and means to spring him. seriosly hoping that doesnt happen tho cause i want to see the million or so citizens he terrorized testify against him

i don't really know, but i think if his own people have the chance to
actually stand up and say what they really think in new gov't, they will
execute him. But then again, he may just sit and rot in a cell too....

like I said, I don't know. No one does.

I think that the whole thing will drag on for a few years. First they'll try to get as much information out of him as they can, and then they'll have a trial that will probably also take up quite a bit of time. The outcome of it, of course, will be death.

I bet he'll be assasinated.

i dont know what to say about all this.

We're not going to get any information out of him because we don't support torture, but i really think we should make an acception in this case and torture the information out of him. Some people say that if we do this then we're no better than them, i know this but the thing is we're not going to get any info out of him "Waking him up at odd hours and asking him questions" as they said they were doing on the news. He's satan himself and my guess is he wont crack without torture.

Couldnt have said it any better myself. Good one RyTRiX

Thanks. That one took me a while

Very valid pnt. though. We aren't going to get anything outa Saddam the way were doing things now. When they first pulled him outa his rat hole he was scared outa his damn mind. If we tortured him then (or soon after) that dishonorable sleaze ball would've been more talkative then a 10yr old ADHD case on a sugar high. But i guess us being the democratic super power with the whole world looking upon how we carry out situations (esspecially the UN ), I guess we Do have to maintain a certain properness with our actions as a country.

trust me the united states doesn't need to use torture to get any information out of saddam. first of all the information gained from torture is for the most part invalid because when you are being tortured you will say anything to make the pain stop. the US interrogators are not just waking him up at odd hours of the night, they are doing much more. when i was in the air force i had to go to SERE school and pow training. saddam is likley being kept awake for days at a time. he is definately isolated from anyone except his interrogators. crazy loud music or sounds is being played constantly over and over. probably spends most of his time in closet like structure where he has to bend over because its not very tall, not wide enough to lay down. it is probably damp, cold. he most likely has a bag over his head except when he is being questioned under super bright lights. he might get a bunch of sessions in a row with mean interrogators and then a hot woman interrogator might come in and act nice and bring him hot food in exchange for information. the US doesnt need to use tourture to get information from anyone because they are so good it's not necessary. its just a function of time and pressure before anyone will crack. we also have various drugs such as sodium pentathol (truth serium) that can speed up the process. besides all this saddam showed he was a coward and only cares about himself came out of his hole saying he wants to negotiate and you better believe his interrogators are lying to him telling him they can get him a sweetheart deal if he cooperates with them instead of turning him over to the iraqi council who want him dead asap.
