Bush calls for Saddam execution

_39635747_longbeardap.jpg

US President George W Bush has said that the captured former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein should pay the "ultimate penalty" for his crimes.

Last Updated: Wednesday, 17 December, 2003, 03:58 GMT

"This is a disgusting tyrant who deserves... the ultimate justice," he said in a US television interview.

His comments put the US sharply at odds with the United Nations and European allies who oppose the death penalty.

Earlier, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced the CIA would take charge of interrogating Saddam Hussein.

In the aftermath of the deposed leader's capture on Saturday, Mr Bush avoided answering questions on what punishment he wanted to see imposed.

But his latest comments confirm what most people believed were the Texan president's views, says the BBC's Justin Webb, in Washington.

"Let's just see what penalty he gets, but I think he ought to receive the ultimate penalty ... for what he has done to his people," Mr Bush told ABC News.

"I mean, he is a torturer, a murderer, they had rape rooms. This is a disgusting tyrant who deserves justice, the ultimate justice."

But the president said that he did not want a "kangaroo court", and that only the Iraqi people should decide what punishment their former leader deserved.

"I mean, he is a torturer, a murderer, they had rape rooms. This is a disgusting tyrant who deserves justice, the ultimate justice."

Doesn't Bush has an adviser who advise him about his statements?

"But the president said that he did not want a "kangaroo court", and that only the Iraqi people should decide what punishment their former leader deserved."

Then shut the fuck up!
