The US and the UK didn't sentance anyone. The Iraqi governement did.

I meant we're in Iraq to liberate them, bring them democracy and civilisation, bla bla bla, so for people to support them enforcing a primitive brutal act is kindof hypocritical.

Meh. It's hard for me to get that worked up about him being hanged.

There's no doubt as to his guilt - and getting rid of him will go a long way to quelling the insurgents that hope to some day return him to power. (Which is probably a small percentage of the insurgents since most are religious - but every bit helps.)

It's not that painful either. Usually the neck snaps immediately. Besides being more visually disturbing, it's not that different in substance than lethal injection and much less tortuous than the electric chair.

Indeed. I don't get why everyone's going "omg barbaric" when it comes to hanging. It's not like he dies of asphyxia.

The trial is over? Unfortunately, with the appeals that will be filed, it won't be; not by a longshot...

If the appeal fails he's to be executed in 30 days.

Why is the 'trial' not held in front of an international tribunal?

You know, for someone who's committed such horrible crimes, death penalty seems to be a pretty good deal >.>;;; Send him to a prison deep within North Korea or something if you really want him to pay for his crimes.

CNN is reporting that Saddam Hussein has been executed, but they're still waiting for confirmation on this.

^ Yeah, I have the news on and they made an announcment like 15 minutes ago saying it happened at 10:00 PM EST. I dunno, I'm scared for Iraq, mostly.

The video of the execution might be on youtube very soon.

hopefully his execution doesn't trigger anything.

all i can say is what a tragic end to a leader, to an ex-president.

Boshabab · « **Reply #35 on:** December 30, 2006, 03:07:03 PM »

well, I am really against this judgment! its very hard to know the truth about what and why did Saddam kill heaps of people in Iraq.However, according to my soruce in the Gulf, he was set in assassination for couple times and thats why have sluter bunch of people between time to time.... anyways I dont want to go politics in here but I am quite sad for what they did today especially in our religious holiday...

Curiosity also kills. I await the video footage with a morbid interest.

Many people have died in Iraq in the last 3 years. It should have been a triple gallows with Bush & Blair hanging alongside of him. I find the whole thing rather sinister.

Well, apparently the religious holiday didn't start till dawn. They killed Saddam before dawn, so technically it wasn't on the religious holiday.

The people saying they should hang Bush or Blair really need to grow up.
