This country abolished capital punishment when I was a kid,  so why is a British foreign secretary welcoming the death sentence that's just been passed on Saddam Hussein?

It's a lose-lose situation.

I think he should have been tried at the Hague- as Milocevic was. I imagine the Coalition powers nixed that because they didn't want their own misdeeds paraded on the international stage- as would have happened if Saddam had been granted a proper defence.
