Saddam Hussein waiting
As were waiting for news about Saddams death by hanging, i can´t help thinking that it´s wrong. Of course i´m against capital punishment, but there is also several other aspects, the obvious being that every person is entitled to a fair trial, and as pointed out on several occasions, the latest by the HRW for instance, there have been several flaws in the trial proceedings. I would also have liked to see more trials against him in due time, But i also think that it´s a harsher punishment to sit and wait for 30-40 years waiting day in and day out, having time to reflect upon one´s life.
UPDATE: The BBC has confirmed that the execution has taken place.
