Saddam death sentence follow-up

A follow-up to this post.
On again, off again (but mostly on again) Neocon writer Christopher Hitchens seems to agree with most of my opinions on the death penalty expressed in my Saddam Hussein verdict post in this Slate article — which focuses much on the Kurds in Iraq. See also a "tribute", or history (per se), of the Iraqi dictator written by David Cox on Guardian Unlimited's Comment is Free. Also, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has said that he does not agree with the use of the death penalty, even for the genocidal Saddam Hussein.
