The news today


Just heard on the news, Saddam Hussein is to be hanged. I'm not sure if I am happy  that Saddam will die, if there is justice in the said course of action.

I am however flabbergasted by the news that people are still executed by hanging. Makes me feel weird. It makes me feel barbaric. I am however for capital punishment for heinous crimes - crimes against humanity.

Can't we just shoot him instead (just kidding). I prefer injection of toxins or poison (is it any more humane? LOL).

I am however suspicious on the verdict, not on the content but on the speed that it was carried out. It has only been a couple of years more importantly, some reports argue that the evidences do not carry much weight to convict Saddam. There are anecdotal evidences and documents that are not "that" credible and legible.

You may charge me as a person who loves conspiracy theories. I bet there is some tinge of pleasing the US is in order.

For the time being, we shall see.
