I don't think anyone has said why the execution happened when it did, so I will. It happened during a very holy time for Muslims, when the insurgency and general mayhem would be at its relative quietest. It was taken as a national security action, rather than a judicial one. It made a lot of sense in regard to saving lives and quelling unrest, but people were going to complain regardless what happened.
