Good. Hang that human waste.

Saddam was caught more than two years ago and while I would have preferred his death be at the literal hands of the Iraqis he "led" for decades, stringing him up and dropping his ass is the least of what he deserves.

I support the death penalty in the abstract and if anyone alive on this planet deserves to be killed for his or her crimes, Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majidida al-Tikriti belongs in that list. He's part of that rare group of government officials and other ruiners whose actions reserve a spot before the first bend in that long capital punishment line. But though it might feel good to see a government in Iraq formally taking down the head of a previous government in Iraq, real justice would have been far less antiseptic.
