Death

The disgusting display of jubilation in response to the barbaric execution of Saddam is just that: disgusting. I am not in the mood to go into it, so I will take Fred's lead and reroute you to the Yellow Dog Democrat.

Human Rights Watch:

The momentary elation over Saddam's demise among those who suffered under his regime will not outweigh or outlast the loss of a unique opportunity to establish a clear record of his regime's criminality. The flawed trial and a fast-track execution send a clear signal that political interference is still very much a feature of the judicial process in the new Iraq.
