Blair berates manner of Saddam's hanging

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has broken his silence on Saddam
Hussein's hanging, calling the manner of the execution "unacceptable"
and "wrong".

Other ministers in Blair's government have condemned the way Saddam was
hanged.

But Blair - US President George W Bush's main ally in the invasion of
Iraq - had not spoken out publicly until now, despite rising pressure to
do so.
