#3 There will always be some loonies who oppose the death penalty, but for someone like Saddam, it's a more merciful end than some of the ones he ordered.

#4 I can't wait to see how many Idiotarians decry this as "inhumane." Execution of people guilty of heinous crimes is a violation of their human rights.

Meanwhile, anti-American dictators can kill all the dissenters they want. No problem there.

Hey, just slowly winch him down into the rotating jaws of his favorite shredder. Sauce for the gander and all that. There does not exist a single form of conventional capital punishment which remotely approaches the unusual cruelty inflicted upon nearly each and every one of Saddam's victims. He could be flayed alive and it would still represent a kindness.

#6 Yesterday the Iraqi Justice Minister gave a new conference. A journalist asked if Sadam would be allowed to represent himself and referenced the debacle of the Milosevic trial at the world court. If the Iraqi Justice system is as feckless as the world court Sadam will be running for president from his prison cell. However, I think the Iraqi court will be straightforward with only three steps: list crimes, prove guilt, and execute.
