If any of you had any doubt that Richard Dawkins is fast becoming the world's most over-rated intellectual then read his latest article from the Guardian. Entitled "Losing his mind", Dawkins tries to put forward the argument that instead of hanging Saddam Hussein we should have kept him alive for future study by psychologists and historians. While I should point out that I agree that Saddam shouldn't have been executed, the idea of using him for research is quite laughable and is delivered in Dawkins' typical style of attempting to convince the reader through half-baked scientific ideas and empathic pleas.
