I don't see it that way at all. Killing someone on the battlefield is neutralizing a threat, self defense as it were. Killing someone under the law is more a matter of retribution, something I'm not sure that I can support. The self defense aspect has been satisfied, Saddam Hussein is neutralized. Anything done to him now is a matter of revenge, something I aspire to be above.
So, pay for his ass in prison - yup, I do.
