Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but this was a letter printed in todays Telegraph newspaper:
Quote:
Sir – Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death (news, November 6). The response of Margaret Beckett, the Foreign Secretary: "It is right that those accused of such crimes against the Iraqi people should face Iraqi justice."
Isn't it ironic that, if Saddam were to escape from prison and make it to the shores of Britain, it would not be possible to deport him back to Iraq to face his sentence, because the death penalty would infringe his human rights?
