[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] I hear Pinochet got his amnesty revoked just recently and is now slated for conviction again. I promise you he'll die before the gavel drops. Cyanide or something. Whatever it was Milosevic took. [/qb][/QUOTE]I dont know about that: Pinochet's been playing the "I'm too senile to be convicted" gag for so long now (while doubtlessly laughing behind closed doors) that I could see him going from natural causes before any mandated sentence gets him. Did they ever conclude the investigation on Milosevic's suicide? How he got the pill he took? Today's paper had a nice story on two Iraqi men- living just one block apart- with wildly conflicting views on Saddam's sentence. One man was thrilled and shocked that this day had come to pass after years of hopelessness. The second man (a minor agriculture official under Saddam's rule and a Sunni) felt that there [i]is[/i] no Iraq without Saddam and that his sentence was ordered by both America and Iran (as though the two countries are geo-political pals). It's also looked at very suspicously by the Arab world in general that this sentence is delivered just prior to U.S. elections...with, of course, the obligatory threats to the United States and so on.
