US sends mixed messages on Saddam's hanging
The Bush administration today sent conflicting signals about the taunting and baiting that accompanied Saddam Hussein’s execution as the White House did not join criticism of the former Iraqi president’s hanging and the state department and US military raised questions about it.
“The president is focused on the new way forward in Iraq, so these issues are best addressed out of Iraq, out of Baghdad,” deputy White House press secretary Scott Stanzel said.
