A good reminder

That Saddam Hussein is, you know, a really bad guy. At least according to one of his Iraqi victims, a devout Shiite tortured severely for religious activities:

He looked at the television Thursday at the man who sent him there, Saddam Hussein. The former Iraqi dictator sat defiantly in a courtroom. Neat suit. Trimmed beard. White shirt. He was asked courteous questions and allowed to have his say.

Not bad treatment for a torturer, Bilasim concluded.

"We must do this to show we are a legal society," said the 35-year-old engineer, sitting in a friend's home in Baghdad. "But at the end, he should be executed. And then when his spirit rises from his body, the spirit should be strangled and executed again."

I am not sure how you sentence someone to that, but innovative judges abound.
