World- Iraq / Israel

I know everyone is running with the Saddam verdict, but I'll just link to the yahoo link, since it's where I first saw it.

Iraqi tribunal sentences Saddam to hang By HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 26 minutes ago BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced Sunday to hang for crimes against humanity in the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town, as the ousted leader, trembling and defiant, shouted "God is great!" ADVERTISEMENT As he, his half brother and another senior official in his regime were convicted and sentenced to death by the Iraqi High Tribunal, Saddam yelled out, "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!" Later, his lawyer said the former dictator had called on Iraqis to reject sectarian violence and refrain from revenge against U.S. forces.
