WE have experience at this?

I’m on hold…at  some point in time, if you deal with computers enough, you are on hold with "higher powers of knowledge"….and saw this over at Powerline.

Now, I totally agree with what Captain Ed is saying over at Captain’s Quarters:

Oh, please. Only the "Arab world" could long for the days of rape rooms, people having their tongues cut out and their hands amputated, and genocides against the Kurds and the Shi’ites just because of three executions after the closest thing to due process that Iraq has seen in decades. While the Sunni world wails about poor Saddam getting executed on Eid, none of them mention the mass murders that Saddam committed with the power of the state behind him, and the mass graves he left as evidence of them.

But this caught my eye:

Could the Iraqis have done a better job with these executions? Of course. Saddam got rushed to the gallows, and the scene that the Iraqis allowed to unfold (and videotape) cheapened the event, turning it into a rally for Moqtada al-Sadr. They eliminated the Sadr cheering section for the next executions. Barzan’s beheading resulted from rank incompetence; the executioner used too long of a rope despite the expertise at hand from the American military.

I dunno about you, but I cannot remember the last time the American military hung ANYBODY?  Since when would we have expertise in this field?

Just a random thought…..
