There is no question in my mind and in the mind's of a large majority of the world's population that Saddam Hussein is guilty. the question is whether he should be put to death. There are the arguments from human rights advocates and religious leaders saying he shouldn't be put to death, and cries from the families of his victims who can't wait to see him gone.
Definitely hanging him is what he deserves; however, that will just make him a martry and invoke more outrage and acts of terrorism from the few supporters that he still has. He insists that he's never done anything wrong and will drop from the gallows insisting it was his right as ruler to perform all the atrocities that he did.
All human rights arguments and religious opinions aside, a far greater punishment for Saddam would be to lock him away in a tiny cell and let him spend the rest of his life there to think about his life and what he's done.
It's better to lock him away where he will fade away and be forgotten, than to hang him and have him live on as a martyr and rallying cry for what his followers see as an injustice.
