Human Rights

Stop the presses:

Grainy cell phone video of Saddam Hussein's execution triggered international criticism Tuesday, with Britain's deputy prime minister calling the leaked images "unacceptable" and the Vatican decrying the footage as a "spectacle" violating human rights.

Meanwhile, the Italian government pushed for a U.N. moratorium on the death penalty, Cuba called the execution "an illegal act," and Sunnis in Iraq took to the streets in mainly peaceful demonstrations across the country.

I'd like to take this opportunity to quote noted legal ethicist, San Francisco police inspector Harry Callahan: "Yeah, I'm real broken up over his rights".
