Was Saddam Sons' Killing 'Legal'?
Advertisements [?]
 In theory, pursuing with intent to kill violates a long-standing policy banning political assassination. It was the misfortune of Saddam Hussein's sons that the Bush administration has not bothered to enforce the prohibition.

The brothers were killed during a six-hour raid Tuesday at a palatial villa in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul by U.S. forces acting on a tip from an informant. They ranked just below their father in the deposed regime. Odai, in particular, had a reputation for brutality.

Officials said people inside the villa opened fire first — but left little doubt what the U.S. troops hoped to accomplish.

"We remain focused on finding, fixing, killing or capturing all members of the high-value target list," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of coalition troops in Iraq, announcing the deaths of Odai and Qusai.

Where is the evidence used to issue a warrant? Where is the evidence to be used in the trial?

I swear, you've all gone insane! The GOP Christian leaders and GOP media Corps. have lead our country to the Valley of The Shadow of Death!

Why can a society empathize with a movie like Gladiator but have no idea on the difference of wrong and right in living world history?
