December 29: Vatican official says executing Saddam would be wrong: http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=5865506&nav=menu83_2
December 30: Vatican spokesman denounces Saddam's execution as 'tragic': http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2006-12-30-vatican-saddam_x.htm?csp=34
Jesus, John 8:1-11, spares a women guilty of adultery whom the Mosaic Law said should be stoned to death.
If the guilty person's identity and responsibility has been fully determined then non-lethal means to defend and protect the people's safety from the aggressor are more in keeping with the common good and the dignity of the human person.
The Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives.
However in today's modern society, the capability of rendering the offender incapable of doing harm - without definitively taking away from him the possibility of redeeming himself - the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity are very rare, if not practically non-existent.
With love in Christ.

The Pope said that it was Tragic.
The Pope is in a country that abolished the death penalty. Like every modern civilized country did. It makes every execution tragic. Those executions are a disgrace to the judges, jury, government and population of the country where they take place. Capital punishment is a backward, savage medieval punishment.

Killing Sadaam does nothing but give Muktadar Al-Sadr a better chance of taking over Iraq.

Ecclesiasticus
Chapter 1
36 Be not incredulous to the fear of the Lord: and come not to him with a double heart. 37 Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and let not thy lips be a stumblingblock to thee. 38 Watch over them, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, 39 And God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation. 40 Because thou camest to the Lord wickedly, and thy heart is full of guile and deceit.
