Wesley Clark: Death Appropriate for Saddam
Democratic contender Wesley Clark said today that he supports a trial in Iraq and the death penalty for Saddam Hussein.
The retired general said in prepared remarks in Concord he would urge that an Iraq tribunal make execution a possibility for the deposed Iraqi dictator.
‘‘I believe that the death penalty should be applied to war criminals, those who've used chemical weapons, and those responsible for genocide," he said. ‘‘And as I believe the proceedings will show, Saddam is responsible for every single one of these heinous crimes and deserves the ultimate punishment."
In other Wesley Clark news, he received the endorsement of Madonna today.
