Yeah, let execute him! The only thing we have to decide how.....I am in favor of using the stuff they showed in the movie "Braveheart" where they executed him!
S.L.O.W AND N.A.S.T.Y
After all he costed us a lot of money and lives!
And televise it....it ain't for the sqeamish! I'll just sit in the front row and each popcorn!

Wow, I don't know. My thought is that it might embolden the Baath party to revenge the death of their leader. I hope the prime minister is right, but wow, what a gamble.

A long-drop hanging for a man of Hussein's weight offers approximately 5-6 feet of freefall, perhaps a half-second to reach the end of the rope, at which point Iraq enters a new era. Make a heckuva pay-per-view.

Sorry, but I have my doubts. We heard that the capture and/or killing of Saddam's sons would seriously weaken the insurgency - it didn't. We heard the capture and/or killing of Saddam's top regime officials would seriously weaken the insurgency - it didn't.
Killing Saddam, although he needs to be shot or hung for his hideous crimes against his countrymen, won't have one iota of effect upon the insurgency. Kill him, but don't expect any reduction in attacks because of it.

Yes, he is right. Crowd psychology is such that it is hard to replace a living leader while it is quite a good deal easier to replace a dead leader no matter how beloved or hated.
Until Saddam is gone, he will create hopes of return for those who supported and profited by his leadership. Once gone they may initially try outrage but the danger will be they become outcasts. Assume, like people the world over, they will adjust quickly to the death of Saddam and move on. Finally, those who are in the new regime cannot feel free from a counter revolution until he is dead.
The sooner the better. Best of all would have been shots into Saddam in his spider hole bunker.
