A stoning would have been preferable.

No argument from me, but he had much more painful ways to
torture people,
ending in death. One of those would have been appropriate.

Torture is one thing, execution is another. But, wrt stoning,
Goggle a little and find out what this is really like. It is a
slow, extremely painful, agonizing way to die not at all like the
human hanging Saddam really received.
