After hearing about the state murder of a state murderer, one question came to mind that I've wondered here before.
If the Saddam Hussein can get a public trial and questionable approximation of due process, why can't that same process be afforded to the kidnapees in Gitmo, who are presumably far less monstrous? Why is the "Hitler of the Middle East*" afforded more pseudo-legality than ordinary suspected bad guys?
(*-the "Hitler of the Middle East" before Hamas, Hezbollah and Ahmadinejad won that ever changing monicker)

I can't believe the executioners were wearing terrorist ski masks - what are they hiding from? Isn't this a glorious day for -ahem- civilization?
