The Mother of All Plea Bargains One great thing about the death penalty is that it can offer useful leverage when a coward like Saddam is in the dock. Ha'aretz reports on talk of a plea bargain: Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein could be offered a deal in which he would give his captors information on if and how he hid weapons of mass destruction and if he smuggled some of them into Syria. In exchange, he would face life imprisonment and not be executed for war crimes, senior Iraqis attending a conference here on the future of the region have hinted. If those weapons are in Syria, that country's Baathist dictator, Bashar Assad, may find himself on the run, just like Saddam. Hey Bashar, better keep a shovel handy. BEST OF THE WEB
