"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. 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 " |
I think the Egyptians aren't too happy either.
