I'm not saying he didn't deserve the death penalty--handed down by in a fair trial by an impartial tribunal. The trial he received was a total joke, the sentence a foregone conclusion, and the tribunal a puppet of the US occupiers. The ends don't justify the means. There was no justice done here.
I'd bet anything that Saddam's Sunni brethren will be stepping up their attacks, now that they have the great martyr Saddam to rally around. This is exactly how violence begets violence, which is a lesson we seem hell-bent on not learning.
