The Times Editors Are Silent

I find it interesting that the NYT has not had an editorial on the hanging of Saddam. In past they have been very vocal about capital punishment.

 

From The New York Times, December 29th:

Yes - I had read that. But that was prior to hanging being carried out. It was also very weak for a paper that is so strongly against capital punishment.

It did happen on a holiday — New Year's for us and Eid for them — so maybe they'll all address it mañana.

 

Or maybe the hanging of Saddam Hussein just isn't as big a deal as most of you want to make it out to be

 

Are you kidding?
It's Another Turning Point.

 

No doubt we're balls deep in the "last throes" of the insurgency.
