January 3, 2007 -- The execution of President Saddam Hussein is another crime that should be added to the growing list of crimes committed by the United States since it invaded and occupied Iraq in 2003.

The spectacle of President Saddam Hussein's execution, shown in pornographic detail to the whole world, was deeply shocking to those of us who respect propriety and human dignity. Saddam Hussein may have been "handed over to the Iraqi authorities" before his death, but his execution will go down - correctly - as a US crime.
