Saddam Execution Video

Against my better judgement I watched the footage of the Saddam execution filmed by someone on a mobile phone.

Although I do not agree with the death sentence I appreciate that Saddam was tried under laws whereby he could be sentenced to death.

In addition, I do not excuse the terrible crimes that were committed by Saddam Hussein whilst he were in power.

But what sort of Democracy allows a man to be insulted, heckled and shouted at as he has a noose tied around is neck? What judicial process allows an execution to be filmed on a mobile phone and posted on the internet within hours? How does a dark execution chamber, the hooded guards, the jibes and insults morally elevate this execution higher than some of the Al Qaeda beheadings that have occurred in the past?
