When is a death sentence NOT a death sentence?

Reader comment on item: Saddam on death row

Submitted by Stuart Teich (United States), Nov 11, 2006 at 18:23

It is my understanding that the tribunal to which Saddam Hussein will make his appeals has no time limits, but that once his appeal is concluded, his breathing privileges must be revoked within 30 days.

In other words, he has actually been sentenced to die a debatably natural death of clotted bile, impacted spleen, and unlimitted karmic retribution twenty years hence, and to have his "untimely" demise announced by his lead counsel and long time friend, Houssein Ali Mohammad Jarndyce.

I can't wait to hear him eulogised by Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. , once Senator, now head of the NAACP and ACLU, which merged in 2015 and stopped defending Nazis and Klansmen, and Kweise Mfume, who due to Alzheimers has reverted to his 1960's persona, racism, antisemitism, awful poetry, and all, and Alan Dershowitz, his official biographer. His shade will not be able to attend, having that 9:00 AM breakfast appointment with Hitler at the Seventh Circle IHoP.
