Judge who sentenced Saddam Hussein to Death Flees Iraq, Asks for Asylum
The Iraqi trial judge who sentenced former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to death has asked for asylum in Britain, Arab television reported.
[They] said that Raouf Abdel Rahman had asked for asylum after going to Britain with his family in mid-December on a visitor's visa.
"The information we have is that the judge sought asylum for reasons including that he fears for his own life and the lives of family members ... The application is being considered by the Home Office" [according to a London correspondent.]
Well it didn't take long for that mercenary judge to hightail it out of Iraq. He sentenced Saddam Hussein to death barely 4 months ago and ALREADY he's fled Iraq and seeking asylum in the UK. What a brave and loyal Iraqi he is, NOT!
Just like Joe Stalin's kangaroo court judges during the purges, he feared for his own life in the end. (..and yes, some of those judges met their own ends in the purges).
I predicted the judge would be out of Iraq within a year. It was too easy a call to miss. He went to London on a visitor's visa less than 45 days after handing down the sentence, did anyone NOT expect him to play the political asylum card?
As they did in Vietnam with Thieu, the US got, in Iraq, exactly the Quisling and the justice it paid for.
The judge should be denied asylum and told to go back to Iraq. Really...
Cheney says Iraq's a safe place and will be a flourishing peaceful democracy soon.. ' The insurgency is simply in its death throes...'
Yeah sure, tell that to Judge 'Dudes You're on Your Own, I'm Outta Here to Save My Own Pathetic Hide' Rahman...
