"...The appeals court that will now review the verdict can undo some of the damage by taking into account some of these deficiencies.

In the meantime in their entire cachment area, the "paper of record" cannot find one Republican to endorse and uses the same words regarding Saddam as they use for the death penalty in Texas and other states.
Anybody who doesn't think Saddam earned the maximum penalty believes in politics over justice.
I'm surprised! Here it is 6:56 AM Monday, Nov. 6 and the sentence hasn't been carried out yet???
Saddam had a fair trial. He will now have a fair appeal. Then he will be fairly hanged.
The only thing the leftists should be worried about is whether Saddams corpse is buried, burned or left in the courtyard for the masses to rip apart.
The Post's headline today is: GOOD NOOSE.
Justice would have been carried out had he been shot on first contact.
Saddam doesn't need a new trial. The NYT editors need new brains.
SH is facing numerous additional trials. I doubt he'll be hanged before all of them have been tried and appealed, which could mean years, if not decades. He'll probably die of old age before then.
His death sentence is a symbolic victory. I don't think it will ever be carried out.
"Then he will be fairly hanged."
Thank G-d you used the correct tense form, i.e., the way we were tought in the college in Moscow. A Fox journalist said yesterday "he will be hung", which made me think we were tought wrong (she was cute, though, the journalist, I mean).
I learned it at a young age.
People are hanged
Pictures are hung

They never should have tried Saddam. They should have shot him (and most of his extended family) on the spot.
Undo some of the damage?
Oof, what a relief. For a moment there I saw my higher education going down the drain.
