The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

ah- here is some puppet work- a US attorney attempting to file on Saddams behalf in a US court- now there's respect for Iraqi soverignty.

At the same time, a U.S. district judge refused a request to stay the execution.

Attorney Nicholas Gilman said in an application for a restraining order, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington, that a stay would allow Hussein "to be informed of his rights and take whatever action he can and may wish to pursue."

Haddad had called Gilman's filing "rubbish," and said, "It will not delay carrying out the sentence," which he called "final."
