The formalities over, the four masked executioners stepped forward. Short, tubby and dressed in leather jackets, they looked more like Al-Qaeda killers in an amateur terrorist video than those responsible for carrying out the sentence of death on a former head of state.A sick comparison. Saddam was hung by volunteers who served justice upon him. Not cowardly murderous terrorists who sawed the head off a captive innocent. This is simply an idiotic statement, IMHO. Sad to think there are those who can't tell the difference. Worse to think some of them are elected Democrats.

A sick comparison. Saddam was hung by volunteers who served justice upon him. Not cowardly murderous terrorists who sawed the head off a captive innocent. May not be as sick a comparison as it looks. It's good that Saddam is dead, no doubt. It's not good that he died at the hands of what appears to be a Shia death squad from the Madhi army. That's symbolism that might be lost on the average American, but speaks volumes to the average Iraq.
The followers of Muqtada al-Sadr have slain the old king. What does that make them? What does that make al-Sadr?
