Perhaps the Iraqi government disagree with you, Xaccers?

"The Iraqi constitution prohibits executions during religious holidays."
Section 290 of Iraq's Law on Criminal Proceedings (1971). The section provides: The death penalty cannot be carried out on official holidays and special festivals connected with the religion of the condemned person.

As for being hung before he finished his prayers, perhaps you're asking the wrong person 
If there is a deity such as Allah, are words really needed for that deity to understand?
Remember, those who performed the execution did so knowing better than any of us over here what Saddam did to the Iraqi people, and if they don't think he deserved any longer, so be it. |
The Iraqi government disagree with you, Xaccers (from the same article as below)
"Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie has told the BBC that lessons have been learned and future executions will be handled differently. "We will take care of all the loopholes of what happened during Saddam's execution and we will leave no stone unturned to pursue those who have spoiled the victory of the Iraqi people in executing Saddam Hussein," he said."
Oh, and Dubya disagrees with you too......

"US President George W Bush has said he wished the execution of ex-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had been more dignified "
