SourceThat bastard had it coming.
He went down like a coward, refusing to stand-up for his sentencing-- the same way he spent his life as a dictator. His knees were too weak with fear and embarrassment, and he could not trust them to maintain his composure. Before his knees ever betrayed him, his fundamentalist ideals did.
Humanity for the win.
Already, Fox News is publicizing the Iraqi public dissent resulting from the ruling. This is
almost counter-intuitive. One would imagine that Fox would want to make it seem like everything is going smoothly, but it would make more sense for the public to believe that there is still disorder, and therefore U.S. military occupancy is still required. You sneaky conservative bastards never fail to fail.
On a lighter note, here's
