Green (R-TN-7) 12/30/2022: Twitter thread – “16 years ago today, Saddam Hussein was executed for his crimes against humanity.

He terrorized his own people and had no plans to stop there. /2 I'm grateful for the part I was able to play in his capture in 2003. The Iraqi people were finally able to get justice when Saddam was executed for his heinous crimes. /3”
