"RUSH" TO EXECUTION

I have--or had--no sympathy of Saddam Hussein and was not surprised he was put to death. I was, however, surprised at the alarcrity of his execution. I don't know if he even had time to digest his last meal. The New York Times in its January 1st edition has an interesting--and disturbing--story about the execution. I suspect we will hear alot more about it in the days ahead and it will prove to be a difficult issue for some Democratic Presidential contenders to wrestle with.
