Should have christened him Baker Ali or Mechanic Ali, his life would have turned out much better.

i wonder whatever happened to the Iraqi Minister of Communications (something like that) - always did the press conferences and tv interviews, quite funny how he backed Saddam to the end - well right up to the day before Shock and Awe - then did a runner.

You mean Tariq Aziz, got a jail term but spared the noose I think.
Report Ken Masters • January 25, 2010 3:47 PM GMT
4 death sentences:

Jan 2010: For ordering the gas attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988 in which 5,000 people died

March 2009: For the 1999 killings of Shia Muslims in the Sadr City district of Baghdad

Dec 2008: For his role in crushing a Shia revolt after the 1991 Gulf War

June 2007: For his role in a military campaign against ethnic Kurds, codenamed Anfal, from February to August of 1988

To be served concurrently, apparently. One law for the rich and one for the rest of us, isn't it.

From Wiki :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Haw-haw


Joyce was captured by British forces in northern Germany just as the war ended, tried, and eventually hanged for treason on 3 January 1946. Joyce's defence team, appointed to him by the court, argued that, as an American citizen and naturalised German, Joyce could not have been convicted of treason against the British Crown. However, the prosecution successfully argued on the basis of a technicality that having lied about his nationality to obtain a British passport and to vote, Joyce owed allegiance to the king.

Was murder then...

He was not British so should not have been hanged for treason...


madsimon 25 Jan 17:08

But he lied on his passport application, so it was invalid and he was not British.

So he was innocent of Treason , guilty of falsifyng his application , for which the punishment was a £1 fine
