Iraq reinstates capital punishment
BAGHDAD (AP)


Iraq reinstated on Sunday its capital punishment law for people guilty of murder, endangering national security and distributing drugs, the government announced.

Capital punishment was suspended during the U.S. occupation by Iraq's then-U.S. administrator, L. Paul Bremer.

But with Saddam Hussein facing trial for a wide array of human rights abuses, the interim government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has been promising to reinstate it. ..

"This is not an open door to execute anyone and everyone, or people whom the government dislikes. This is not Saddam's law," Minister of State Adnan al-Janabi said.

Allawi shot prisoners in cold blood: witnesses

8. "This is not Saddam's law"
No, they will use it on plenty of other people who are fighting the foreign invasion too. Eventually these puppets might reap what they sew, though. Note this touch:

"...capital punishment law for people guilty of murder, endangering national security and distributing drugs..."

This is the second time in the last two days that drugs have been mentioned by the Allawi puppets. Is this to be the next right wing justification for the war?

9. Yeaaaahhh! They're becoming more Americanized!
It's about time someone new joined us on the short list of countries who still practice capital punishment.

It's nice to see that what we're doing over there is finally working.... (Argh)
