This is the best account of the execution that I have read thus far.

Saddam: The death of a dictator [salon]

I know that for most it goes without saying, but I just think its really important to note that the crime Sadam was committed of was the killing of 148 people. ONE HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT. Not a negligible sum, though it is less than the number of Americans that George Bush killed in Iraq in the last two months. Of course in reality we all know Sadam killed hundreds of thousands, and tortured even more than that. But it really drives home the point of the salon article when you think that by the same logic with which he was found guilty, so too are Bush, Blair, and probably most American presidents of the last hundred years.
