Saddam - justice or revenge?

Just when you think that they've run out of ways to cock up Iraq, they manage to trump themselves ...

The invaders quite sensibly cut the sound from the footage they released. However, one of the "top Iraqi officials" who filmed the hanging allowed the truth to get out.

So, rather than being a symbol of Iraqi justice, the world saw the hanging for what it was. Shia officials chanted the name of Moqtada al-Sadr leaving the world thinking that this was al-Sadr's victory over his Sunni enemy, rather than justice handed out by a fully-representative government.

Can anyone be left in any doubt that this Iraqu government is not a democratic goverment "of the people, by the people, for the people" but is the government "of Iraq, by the Shia, for the Shia"?
