It looks like everyone is staying up for Friday Night Hangings, the Baghdad edition. I am too, though the subject is covered to death.
Michelle has it all Fun excerpt:

Jesse Jackson is also shedding tears for Saddam.

Professional grief-mongers never stop. I would have listened longer if Mike Tyson had said something about Saddam today whilst being arrested.

The only thing that I can say about the Saddam thing is several mistakes are being made. One, executing him before trials are complete for larger atrocities such as Anfal . He is being hanged for killing Shiites in Dujail and was judged by Shiite judges. Let those same judges try him for doing his level best to make Kurds cease to exist, let those judges try him for killing fellow Sunnis that got in his political way. Let all of Iraq see justice.

The second mistake is sneaking him away in the night to be secretly executed. I like one of the suggestions posited here .

“Many of the Iraqis who lost their family members during and after Saddam's rule will be relieved to see him executed on TV. I prefer to see him getting shot by the firing squads. This way a soldier from each ethnic group - specially soldiers who lost family members - will participate in the execution. However, I think he will be hanged based on the Iraqi law. "

Public executions are an anathema here in the U.S. and should be. However, a genocidal dictator doesn't come to justice every day and the people of Iraq need to SEE justice done. A firing squad may give Saddam a little more military hero cred than he deserves but oh well. Much like we displayed the bodies of his sons and made public the shaming video of his capture the Iraqi government needs to let its people see justice and the end of a tyrant. His death will never atone for the hundreds of thousands that he killed, but it can be a symbol that the age of oppression is over. A secret execution in the dark of night will just breed rumors for years that the imperialists (that's us) secretly got their way and the fix was in.
