Is it really a suprise?
Saddam’s verdictwill be announced two days before the November 7, 2006 elections.
Oh brother.
A verdict against Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants charged with crimes against humanity in connection with an anti-Shiite crackdown in the 1980s will be announced Nov. 5, a senior court official said on Monday.
Sentences for those found guilty will be issued the same day, chief investigating judge Raid Juhi told The Associated Press.
Of course this will be the headlines at this time. And it will influence votes, you can bet. Watch and see.
