Saddam Hussein has been executed after U.S. Forces turned the mass-murdering former dictator over to Iraqi security forces. From FoxNews:

"Now, he is in the garbage of history," said Jawad Abdul-Aziz, who lost his father, three brothers and 22 cousins in the reprisal killings that followed a botched 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite town of Dujail.

"The garbage of history." Has a nice ring to it. He joins others of his ilk, tyrants like Stalin, Hitler, and Lenin, to name a few.

In a last act of defiance, he refused to be hooded for his execution. Then he hanged. Justice has been served.

On MyWayNews, they have a press release from the President:

Today, Saddam Hussein was executed after receiving a fair trial - the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime.

Fair trials were unimaginable under Saddam Hussein's tyrannical rule. It is a testament to the Iraqi people's resolve to move forward after decades of oppression that, despite his terrible crimes against his own people, Saddam Hussein received a fair trial. This would not have been possible without the Iraqi people's determination to create a society governed by the rule of law.

Liberty and the rule of law are what the people of Iraq now have. Something that was denied them under Hussein's rule. We may never know the full extent of Hussein's crimes against the people of Iraq. Let this be considered justice served for all of his crimes, not limited to the ones for which he was convicted and executed for.
