Death on camera www.guardian.co.uk
Today's leader in The Guardian "Death on camera" articulates the feelings I have not been able to find words for after seeing Saddam Hussein hanged on YouTube.
"It is curious, but till that moment I had never realised what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man," wrote George Orwell after witnessing a hanging.
While Dr T Hargey, Chairman of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford pointed out the implications of the day they chose:
"While the barbaric tyranny of Iraq's former dictator must be condemned, the rushed judicial killing of Saddam Hussein on Eid al-Adha ( the holiest day in the Islamic calendar) is a grave and revolting provocation."
