This is the second time in two months that I have been shocked by the NYTimes. (The first time was when they endorsed the Republican/Conservative Party candidate for NY State Controller.)
Not to fear, though. I'm sure they'll have a blistering editorial denouncing the execution. I see they already have a mealy-mouthed "news analysis" on their Home page.
the problem is saddam in death is more of a menace than living.
