According to the latest news, the execution of Saddam Hussein will take place with in the hour. In typical cable news fashion, several commentators are discussing "the issue." Most seem to agree that he was given his day in court and that his crimes warrant death. The fact that anyone would question whether or not the death penalty is the right course action baffles me.
An elected Iraqi government will execute a man who brutally oppressed his country men for decades in an orderly and dispassionate manner. This is justice.
UPDATE
As of 9:10 CT, 6:10 Baghdad time, Al-Arabiya is reporting that Saddam Hussein was executed 10 mins ago.
