News Story

I have not been watching the news on the TV lately, but I watched a little on Wednesday. I was watching the local channel for the weather, but was sidetracked by a story. The news casters started to talk about how Saddam is to be executed. Now, I am going on memory on what he said, and could not locate a transcript of the exact phrase. One of them stated that it is inhumane to hang someone and that no matter what a person does, the death penalty is never right. This is the part that I really find problematic. Throughout Saddam’s reign, he had hundreds, if not thousands executed and killed. Throughout those years I heard nothing from the news casters. I never heard a complaint about Saddam killing his people. Us invading Iraq would be a good thing right? It seems now the news will complain about him being hung by the Iraqi government, yet they never complained about the corrupt Iraqi government hanging their people. Is there not hypocrisy here?
