…whether the judge whose identity was revealed last year by famed lefty “journalist” Robert Fisk (against the wishes of the Iraqi Special Tribunal and the British government, mind you) is the same judge who was assassinated today in Iraq?
Because, y’know, that would be ironic. And not just ironic, but “Jeff Gannon being opposed to gay marriage despite having been photographed with a ROCK-HARD GAY PORN COCK” ironic.
****
update: The judge Fisk named in July, Raid Juhi, was originally reported as the victim in this attack; however, new reports are noting that the judge assassinated earlier today was actually Barbweez Mahmood, who was killed along with his son.
But hey: it’s the thought that counts, right Robert? Oh well. Next time, big guy.
You’d better believe it, partner. Here‘s the article from July 2, 2004 in which Fisk identifies Saddam’s judge as Raid Juhi.
Different Judge. NBC updated, via Drudge:
Still, it’s the thought that counts, right?
Ah. I see also from the update that Juhi has survived “several” assassination attempts. Fiskie must be dying to carve that notch on his bedpost.
Close only counts in horse-shoes, hand-grenades, and Leftist-media inspired murders.
It would have been an extremely large really big deal if Robert Novak had named the judge.
I have a question: after watching the Iraqi Truth Project, is there any way we can execute Saddam, like, more than once?
Because it just doesn’t seem right that we can only kill the bastard once.
….just sayin’…
turing word:part
– Letting him set in jail for al this time trying not to think about how that rope will feel around his neck just before he goes to his reward of 72 virgin goats is exactly that ……
I don’t think it’s fair to even the most ridiculous leftist to call Robert Fisk one.
Robert Fisk is like if one of the unsubtler rings of Uranus had a “Left,” or if Alpha Centari had a “Left,” or there were just an alternate universe where Robert Fisk’s columns sort of “fit,” somehow, and he was cheering for planet Earth rather than self-gratifying over its imagined destruction, then he could be “Left,” or “Left-of-Center,” even.
As it is, Robert fisk remains moon-howler of an unknown moon.
Wait a minute. Didn’t they just reveal his name again?
Fiskie’s still itching to score that one, no doubt, Allah.
Every time that cretin’s name pops up though, I think of one of Steyn’s more memorable riffs written just after the OIF started. Fiskie was then in Baghdad and sent in a column wondering whether he had stocked up enough loo rolls for the long upcoming siege since it was obvious to him that the stupid Yanks had bitten off more than they could chew in tangling with the “battle-hardened Republican Guard.”
Steyn suggested that Fiskie could use his own columns from the pages of the Guardian instead of the loo rolls and thus be put to better use.
