uuhh..I'd say, "yes."
From Wikipedia.com
Execution of political opponents
Although Saddam was al-Bakr's deputy, he was a strong behind-the-scenes party politician whose formative experiences were in organizing concealed opposition activity. He was adept at outmaneuvering -- and at times ruthlessly eliminating -- political opponents. Although al-Bakr was the older and more prestigious of the two, by 1969 Saddam Hussein clearly had become the moving force behind the party. He personally directed Ba'athist attempts to settle the Kurdish question and he organized the party's institutional structure. Hussein was put into control of the internal security apparatus, and within a decade, he had created a police state within Iraq that was so oppressive that it has often received criticism from moderate Arab states. Between 1968 and 1973, through a series of sham trials, executions, assassinations, and intimidations, the party ruthlessly eliminated any group or person suspected of challenging Ba'ath rule

Execution Law were always there. Saddam was too harsh on opponents. Political issues should be sorted by political means. Use of force is always counterproductive. One of the reason for down fall is harsh treament to opposition.
