They should have postponed the hanging til after Ford's funeral.

Is it just me, or is it incredibly wrong for America to allow the execution today, while an American president in lying in state? It would have been proper to postpone things, and set the handover of Saddam until next week. What's the freakin' rush? Doesn't it seem terribly insensitive to anyone else? Tho the US is trying to say the execution was an Iraqi deal, we all know we are calling the shots on the timing. It's very very disrespectful to Ford's family.

1. Technically,

The American's were not in charge, and therefore weren't paying any attention to US news.

2. Ha, ha. You're joking, right?

You forgot your "sarcasm" icon. We handed him over, we could have told them to wait. We financed the trial, we called the shots. I know you're joking..

6. Perhaps GW wanted it that way to take a last slap at Ford for criticizing him?

Did Bush even attend the funeral or any other service for Ford?
