Saddam executed
 

Was it justice at last, or state sponsored murder.

As far as I am concerned, there is a lot wrong with capital punishment and this was premature as he had not been called to account for all his crimes. In Saddams case I do not think anyone would dispute his guilt, but he certainly did not get a fair trial.

Now the insurgents in Iraq have yet another martyr for their cause.

mmm touchy subject timwilky, he did do alot of bad things when he was in power :? i didnt know he had been executed.

I doubt they wanted to waste money or others lives on trying him for more crimes. At least it closes a chapter. We will wait to see if it opens another. Overall its hard to draw an opinion on something you know has been twisted by the media and outside influence out of the reality.

Where can I find the video of him getting his just desserts?

The BBC news site shows him getting the noose put over his head and refusing a hood. But would you really want to see him dropping?

I'm sure if thats what floats your boat you can watch it on Ogrish.com or something similar

Ugh. This will not solve anything.

Executions are never right. Never.

On a lighter note I saw this that made me laugh http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d319cb1c2e

This conveniently ensures he'll never have to defend his human rights violations whilst he was being supported by the United States. :?

Personally I would have preferred to see him rot in jail for the rest of his days. At least the Iraqi jails were built by him and the justice system over there isn't as limp-wristed as what we get to 'enjoy' in our countries.

It does seem to follow the general gist of punishment for that part of the world though.
