WHO does Coun Paul Blanchard think he is exhorting that the wicked, evil, sadistic Saddam Hussain should not have been executed (Wrong to hang, January 3)?
Has he thought of the hundreds of men, women and children Saddam gassed, tortured and held in inhumane conditions in his dreadful jails? He had no thought for them or their suffering loved ones and can only be described as a monster of the very worst kind.
If the Iraqi criminal justice system ruled that he should die, then we have no right to try and pontificate on what they have decided.
Perhaps Coun Blanchard would like the monster to have been transferred to one of the UK's comfortable prisons, where he would be well looked after with colour TV, videos, games and so on.
The publicity of the execution and the supposed jeering at it was wrong - but surely the validity of it was justified?
Coun Bryan R Lawson, Burton Fields Road, Stamford Bridge, York.
