I thought Bush will kill them just before next presidential election. May be he got too worried about the decline in his job approval rating and decided to kill at least two of them (the more non-white and non-Christians you kill the more popular you are with the conservative Americans). I bet he will save both Osama and Saddam for the elections. |

Well, propoganda pani huna sakcha. That thouhgt did cross my mind....then also, I thought it could be their disguises. Well, we might find out tomorrow as the Commander/ pentagon is supposed to present the evidences tomorrow. They reportedly have done DNA tests...but when the journalists asked the commander how they got hold of the dna samples to compare to the so called bodies of Qusay and Uday...they would not elaborate. MY understanding was that it took couple of days to get the results of the dna testing and them being killed today ....how could the USA have gotten the results so fast to confirm the death of these boys? |

I've given this some thought... and though I certainly think that those two men were among the most disgusting monsters to ever thread on this planet...and let me state upfront that I do not feel sorry for them.... BUT I'm not sure I feel comfortable with the extrajudicial killing that happened. They should have been arrested, brought to court, and sentenced properly. The US is setting a very bad example, shooting up and destroying a house where wanted men are SUSPECTED of hiding, and killing them BEFORE their identity is proven and BEFORE they have been sentenced... somehow reminds me of some of the disgusting things the Nepali army did at houses where they suspected that Maoists may be hiding... Okay fine, so they started shooting at the approaching soldiers... but who wouldn't defend themselves if their house was being attacked? That alone proves nothing that the house contains people who are likely to be sentenced to death for their past crimes... Does unknown people's self-defense when their house is being attacked justify calling in helicopters to attack the house from the air? Why not lay siege on the place at a distance... wait for them to run out of ammunition and food, and then go in and arrest them? Can someone help clarify the legal basis under which the US is allowed to carry out extrajudicial assassinations in a foreign country? |

Folks, This is a good case to discuss the issue of fair trial, morality, and international law. What we have here is a simple case of might is right. If you ask me, if the case for going to war is not justified or sanctioned by international law, how can this killing of the Hussein brothers be legal or justified? Two wrongs does not make one right. So this is more like going back to the stone age, Mongolian hordes, or the Roman legions, and the British grenadiers of the past centuries. You can do what ever you like to the rest of the world, simply because you can, and nobody else can stop you from doing it. So power makes everything right...and absolute power makes it everything divine!! So bow your heads to the new emperor!! |

With the way this war is going on would it be fair if one of Saddams relatives kills one of Bushs' relative after 10/20 years? that too when one is playing on the beach or walking in the park? I thought there was an international law that prevented states from organized killing of the citizens of other countries unless its during a declared war. Wait a minute isnt that what we call Terrorism??? |

I don't know the details, but after all those Sandinistas and Guatemala death squad flak, Regan himself had passed some sort of law to stop state-sanctioned killing (in another word- murder, assassination in the name of fighting for the "right"). Does the present administration know about it? What do yo think? I also felt uneasy when I heard this news about these two brother "grim"'s death. There is no dispute that they were criminals who started the fayadeen and republican guards and who would torture and kill their countymen with relish. Still, where the hell is this administration going with this kind of killings? Well, they don't need UN, they don't want Kyoto, Nato. American armies are spread thin and they know they need more police/army force there. They are still resisting to go to the UN to ask for broad cooaition. They send a love letter to india asking for sacrifice of their jawans, have a little chit chat with Italian president and ask his support. It is disgusting how these bushies treat the world as if it is their little play ground and where only their rules apply. |

Forgive me for being sceptical, but I will reserve judgment until this report is conclusively confirmed. After all, "Chemical Ali" has been killed as many times as Kenny from South Park. I oppose the death penalty, but even that sentence after a fair trial would be better in the long term for the Iraqi people than the killing of Saddam and his henchmen by Americans, which no doubt makes martyrs of them in the eyes of many Iraqis. Their death still does not answer the fundamental question "was this invasion and occupation justified?" and if intelligence was "sexed up" in justifying the invasion. Non-judicial killings and target killings are against International law. I do not believe in the killing of human beings without trial. The US/UK forces had no legitimate reason to attack the people of Iraq and so the "intelligence" against Saddam's sons is questionable at best. It is sad when a human being is killed. |

We should find a way to see what Iraqi(s) who had to live under these two guys really think before we do Monday-morning-quarterbacking from the comfort of our secure, cushioned chairs in an air-conditioned room... How many of us here have been to Iraq?or even talked someone who has lived under Saddam and his sons? Do they say good-riddance or cite violation of international laws? Is there a way to get their opinions here in this Sajha discussion board? Can anyone here arrange a chat with an Iraqi citizen(s) or ask him/her to take some quetions from Sajha posters ? Can anyoen in Boston, NY, DC Metro area Sajhaites arrange something like this? Let's hear it from the horses' mouth. |

With due respect, I woud beg to differ from the argument that you have to be an Iraqi to comment on the latest deaths. It is a global issue isn't it? So as global citizens, we have every right to comment whether it is the Hindustan or Pakistan, Palestine or Zion! Besides, the Iraqi-only stance would have some merit if the two brothers were killed by other Iraqis. They were liquidated by outside forces, so some outside commentary is in order, no? Two cents! |

The problem here, my dear suva chintak, people like Kathmandu dude get confused interntional law with nationalist view; emotional eruption with sound argument; and they seem to think one has to be a cow only then that one has the right to talk about milk. Kasto bidambana! |
