There are two issues here. And the irony of it all.

First issue - how Saddam behaved.

Second issue - how America behaves. And the irony here.

Saddam was a badguy and the world is better off without him. And, he's gone.

Second - I expect America to behave honorably. What's ironical about all of this is that the imprisonment and torture is intended to make America and Americans safer, and has had the opposite effect.

America and Americans are less safe because of this behavior.

An honorable America is harder. It takes a bigger view, and sometimes there are short-term losses. Those MUST be absorbed IF the mission is to make America and Americans safer.
