Xaccers, notwithstanding the question of Saddam facing further trials, do you think that performing the execution on the day it happened was reasonable, considering 97% of the Iraqi population are Muslim? Also, in your opinion, was there anything morally wrong with executing him before he had finished his prayers?

I appreciate that Saddam was responsible for the deaths of many people during religious periods, and that these victims undoubtedly didn't have the occaision to say prayers before meeting their makers, but I'm interested in knowing your thoughts on the execution not on the murders Saddam was convicted for.

ps - anyone else seen the cover of this week's Private Eye?
