Watched the footage this morning. Kudos to the Iraqis for getting the job

In recent years "we" have discovered that at least some of those we have
condemned to die were innocent of the crimes for which they were sentenced
to capital punishment. We have no doubt executed some in this country who
were innocent, but once the convicted are dead no one expends energy
exonerating them.

I'm against capital punishment...but there's little doubt about Saddam's
culpability for the crimes that he was accused of.
