The thing about public execution is that they are much more for the public than for pure punishment. There is no punishment on earth that could serve justice to Hussein. He killed 1.5 million people; one life can never pay for that. If it really was about simply killing him, lethal injection would have been a much less dramatic and more dignified death. But the world needed to see him at the end of a rope. His supporters needed a martyr, those who hated him needed something visually intense to rejoice over.
I don't think the US tried very hard to delay it. The day the execution occurred was the start of a holy time, and the Iraqis wanted to get it out of the way before prayer started.
All that being said, I was surprised at how Hussein acted during the execution. He didn't struggle, cry, or do anything other rant a little bit. I think that should say something about the terrorist mind and how they value their lives. They don't!

Of course not ;moreover,It hastened the execution to be carried out so that many truths about how Saddam was backed up by the States during Iraq-Iran war and how Saddamwas provided by the gas which was used to mass murder the Kurds.

Yes. The US did try to extend the hanging, but the Iraqi govt went ahead with it.

If they really wanted to delay it; all they had to do was not turn him over for a week or two. He was in US custody.

I sincerely HOPE they didn't.
Saddam is now covered in pig's blood and being raped by pig-demons in Hell.
At least, I hope he is.

They suggested that maybe it was a bad idea. But like all bad ideas, they were firmly behind it.
