Today I have two stories to tell, but I have two stories alone are worth that much little ... That's why I decided to add some news to these two numbers, often because the numbers can give a better quantitative dimension on the differences but also about the same reality.
1) Prior history: Saddam Hussein's illegal process
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called for the annulment of the death sentence against Saddam Hussein because the process was marked by serious irregularities. In a report of 97 pages Mr. accuses the Iraqi government of failing to ensure the independence of judges. Moreover, the rights of defense were violated repeatedly. HRW also criticized the fact that the court has been funded by the U.S. government.
Some numbers: No. of casualties since the war in Iraq (March 19, 2003). Updated on November 22, 2006
Iraqis: U.S. troops 52'624

2) Second story: plan rejected
The governments of France, Spain and Italy have launched an initiative to launch the peace in the Middle East, which provides for a cease fire, an exchange of prisoners and the holding of an international conference. The plan was immediately rejected by the government and the Israeli stanutitense.
Some numbers: number of casualties since the second intifada (28 Sept. 2000). Updated on November 22, 2006.
