Saddam's secrets about Bu$hCo have been documented other places. The worst he could do is provide an extra witness for the Prosecution at the Hague. This was a stupid and futile gesture.
So now Saddam has entered the realm of myth. Not to die the Pinochet death, a weakened and mocked tyrant, but a martyr who followed orders from the Company, and in fact thought he was okay with Poppy when he invaded Kuwait.
Saddam's mistake was that he thought Washington D.C. was in charge of the Company. The locus of control of the Company lies with its major shareholders: during Gulf War I (& the Mess'o'potamia going on now) that was and is the Royal House of Saud, and secular Sunnis of the Ba'ath party were and are an anathema to them no less than the Shia. Poppy's grand alliance with Saddam against the Shia was only good for as long as the secular Sunnis were willing to take the fall for the Salafis. It's like Jonathan Schwarz says:
A war against Saddam, Poppy thought, would be profitable and clinch a second term for him. Poppy just ended it too soon for his chickenhawk base. A war against Saddam's Iraq delivered for Junior for awhile. The Royal House also thought it would be profitable, delivering Iraq into the arms of at least the Salafi if not the Wahhabi Sunni. It's turned sour for the Saudi's, but Junior has no clue yet- after all, the Blank Check is still clearing the bank.
But now Saddam has entered the realm of myth, expanding his bubble of influence into the wider multiverse, leaving the boundaries of space and time.
His power will only be lost when he is forgotten, and even among the mindless bloody handed red numbskulls, his memory will return to confound their complacency and unsettle their cheetos. A video link to the atrocity of his murder may be found here.
