What was the alternative, to deny the Iraqi authorities the body? How would that have played? Big Bad America imposing its high and mighty western morals on a puppet government? The US government accusing the Iraqis of barbarism -- in advance of any incident? The administration being intolerant of the Muslim religious calendar?

Seems to me, by turning Saddam over to the duly recognized Iraqi authorities, the administration handled the execution the only way that made sense.
