Saddam's Execution

I have a major reservation about the death penalty, and that is its irreversibility, and the catastrophe that ensues when one executes the wrong person. I don't have that concern in Saddam's case, but the whole story, and its whirlwind nature, left me very uncomfortable, though I could not quite put my finger on why.
I think P. Z. Myers may have hit my problem exactly - the analogy he makes is a good one.
