Madam, - I see that President Bush believes Saddam Hussein should face execution (The Irish Times, December 17th).
Such a suggestion is clearly prejudicial and can only militate against Saddam receiving a fair trial.
And Mr Bush is not alone in voicing such deleterious comments. When it comes to discussing Saddam's forthcoming trial, "Give him a fair trial and then hang him" would appear to be the order of the day. - Yours, etc.,
PAUL DELANEY,
