Saddam Hussein Executed for War Crimes
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) _ Clutching a Quran and refusing a hood, Saddam Hussein went to the gallows before sunrise Saturday, executed by vengeful countrymen after a quarter-century of remorseless brutality that killed countless thousands and led Iraq into disastrous wars against the United States and Iran. In Baghdad's Shiite enclave of Sadr City, people danced in the streets while others fired guns in the air to celebrate the former dictator's death. The government did not impose a round-the-clock curfew as it did last month when Saddam was convicted to thwart any surge in retaliatory violence.

If your trial had been here in America you would still be alive because the
liberal judge would have ruled that you cannot kill a criminally insane man and therefore you must be rehabilitated before you could be put to death.
I for one am happy they whent in and got this guy.
I for one am happy that hes now dead.
Why does Bush have to be up for this? Again?
Wasn't Hitler born on April 20th?
Talk about a pair to draw to!
The video has been released to certain news agencies, and Fox has put it up, freezing it before the critical moment. The video, with Arabic writing on the screen, shows Saddam in a long black overcoat being walked, handcuffed, to the gallows by about four or five men wearing black balaclavas.
The rope is huge and thick - the noose is enormous - and one man holds a black cloth around Saddam's neck before the noose is placed around it. Saddam is not fighting back, and does not seem to be reacting, really, either way, though at one point he does have an exchange with the hangman.
Two men put the noose around his neck, and tightened. At this point the videotape freezes; according to Fox it seems that they received the video that way, frozen at that moment. They are replaying continuously; it last for about 45 seconds. It showed at approximately 3:55 a.m.

I hope the reports are wrong that it was quick.... the mother er deserved to struggle and squirm like a fish out of water.
Now can we please get ing Osama, cut off his balls and drag him through the streets of New York allowing everyone to beat the out of him before we finally cut his throat at the Twin Towers?
They didn't show him dieing bc it was a setup and he's still alive! those bas s
I like that...but I would like to see him dragged through NY by a Fire Truck, a police Squad car and an Ambulance.
mysa.com says he was born on April 23, 1937

This is the best one I've found but it doesn't show the actual hanging.
'an important milestone'
dubya misspeaks again. Saddam/Iraq is a fatal, legacy-trashing, important MILLstone around dubya's neck.
Some TV talking head regretted Saddam's hasty demise, because Saddam in his defense statements revealed a lot details about the specific events he was accused of.
If Saddam had be repeatedly tried for other alleged massacres, the idea is that more details would have emerged. The details would have perhaps allowed other miscreants to have been captured. The formal establishment/admission that events actually happened would have helped the Iraqis face down the devilishness.
On legal grounds, it was apparently a pretty ty, shabby legal procedure, consistent with the profound tiness of the Iraqi government, which is no surprise, being spawned by a ty govt in Wash DC and its ty, bogus war.
Holy . Honolulu ran the screencap over the fold.

Poor boutons, he lost his role model today... don't worry, you've still got Osama and Ahmadinidumbass left to look up to.
