Reporting for the Tuesday edition of CNN’s "Newsroom," correspondent Arwa Damon labeled Saddam Hussein’s execution "an act of sheer revenge" and predicted it would have only negative consequences. Damon now joins NBC reporter Richard Engel who last week also described the death of the tyrant as "revenge." Additionally, Ms. Damon characterized the grainy cell phone footage of Hussein’s death as "chilling" and noted that onlookers "taunted" Saddam. The CNN reporter suggested that the execution of the former Iraqi leader would further split the country apart:
Arwa Damon: "With Shia chants defining Saddam Hussein's last moments, it turns his execution into an act of sheer revenge and risks driving even moderate Sunnis further away from the Shia-led government that they already have little faith in to begin with. And so, rather than uniting Iraqis, it appears that Saddam's death is really only further dividing them."

And so what?
Can you imagine our press sneering up it's sleeve at the Italians who threw out Il Duce, or at Germans spitting on Adolf's grave? (I mean back then, of course. Today, anything goes if it hurts Bush.)
wish this liberal socialist/marxist would take my invite to enjoy supper at my house.We'll have some chicken fried steaks, baked taters,corn ,spinich and bread.Every time he swallers a bite,I'll reach over and slap it right out his head. In his feared astonishmentd look,I'll reply, what ?
Bingo. Why should anyone care what a reporter thinks about world events? The worst is when they all get together and interview each other. Also, they are almost always wrong but they never report it.
And to hell with his vivtims? Right shithead?
When Saddam was alive the Iraqui's were killing US Troops and killing each other,and blowing people up with suicide bombs. Now that he is dead they are killing US troops and each other and blowing people up with suicide bombs.
What is the negative here?
One thing is certain, Saddam wont be throwing anyone else in a mulcher.
Revenge? --What wrong with revenge. It works for me.
Saddam killed thousands and she wants to sleep with him.saddam is where he belongs . In hell.
Scroll down to read CNN's glowing endorsement of Hamas, a "a grass-roots Palestinian organization that is the most significant activist group in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Hamas is known among Palestinians in those areas for humanitarian actions such as building schools, hospitals and helping the community in social and religious ways."

Just in case you had any doubt that CNN sucks bilgewater, here you go...
Yep, dead is still dead no matter how many ways the MSM wants to critique the way he died and who said what before he was dead.
Saddam is dead. Suck it, CNN.
I thought execution for murder, after being convicted in a court of law, was simple justice in action. It is the law of sowing and reaping.
I think the CNN reporter is allowing his bias to cloud his judgement.
For me, it was a closure for something that should have happened over a decade ago.
I was not satisfied, until I was able to watch the video of his hanging.
More innocents will be killed by murderers who are not executed (in prison, or once released or if they escape) than will be killed by the state in erroneous executions.
Lefties do love their tyrants. The more hideous his crimes, the more devoted to him liberals become.
Personally I wouldn't have objected to having Saddam executed by being inserted feet-first into a shredder, which is how he had many of his victims killed.
He is not! He is alive and hiding in Argentina under an assumed name,.../sarc

"Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard — awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff."
Tell your liberal friends, that Saddam's hanging was only a form of "late term abortion." They have always supported that concept.
Well, lets dig his ass up and give him a more proper hanging then.
