Re: Saddam hangs
First, regardless of your views on capital punishment, you have to admit that Saddam Hussein should not be treated as just another death row inmate. He deserves a very public, humiliating, and cruel execution (given his horrific crimes, I don't think that's off base).
Secondly, Matty, don't say "what are WE doing hanging people this day in age." It's not we, as in the Americans are not hanging him. We caught him, but Iraq tried him, Iraq convicted him, Iraq sentenced him, and Iraq executed him. The US didn't hang him. It's their thing, do what they wanna do, we can't tell them who to sock it to.
Thirdly, I'm all for capital punishment. I'm not interested in paying taxes to feed death row inmates here in the states for the rest of their lives. I'm not religious; I have no moral problem with killing someone who, left to their own devices, would kill again.
