UK - Saddam's fate divides Right from smug

The Telegraph reports.

It is impossible to foresee how the execution of Saddam will divide Iraq. What is much more predictable is the way it will divide opinion here and in the United States. On the broadcasting media yesterday, the America-is-always-wrong brigade was in full flood within an hour of the verdict. The phrase "kangaroo court" was reverberating through the studios – generally mouthed by the very people who had been insisting from the moment of Saddam's capture that he be tried by Iraq itself and not by an international tribunal meting out "victor's justice". (I seem to recall the Today programme devoting hours to the subject of whether the Butcher of Baghdad could possibly get a fair trial under any proceeding organised by the US.)
