el Rayis is upset...

"Why is it necessary to hang (him) just at the time when people are saying the holiday prayers?"
el Rayis Mubarak is allowed to question his political masters in Washington especially since this makes his job as a "moderate" much more difficult (note in the article he is asking Washington not to hang Saddam in Eid- not the Quisling Iraqi government). Mind you this was not something either Bush or Blair were counting on, the dignified "official" video before the hanging would have had a much more sombre effect. Well, you live and learn hey guys?
