It's only a matter of hours.

Earlier, the Associated Press reported via a top Iraqi official that Saddam would be hanged before 10 p.m. ET Friday night (6 a.m. Saturday in Baghdad).

HE IS DEAD!!!!!

Too bad our death row is so inefficient. Al Arabiya is reporting that he's dead. Where's the video?

everyone is still waiting on video...

there is video showing upto the point he is hanged (has noose around his neck) but nothing after that happens.


then cut to a scene of a dead body proported to be saddam (dead).


I'm suspicious until a REAL video is released.

I searched this morning for video and only found the same Celebrity News Network type of footage. Not the actual hanging. I did see they put the noose to the side so as to break his neck rather than suffocate him. That shows poor form, IMHO.

I think they showed the full video on al Arabya for that reason. Iraq is an entire country made up of conspiricy theorists. Remember, they had to actually take Government officials to view the bidies of Saddam's 2 sons after they were killed. No one believed it until they saw it for themselves.

Don't they know how to make a traditional hangmans noose? You don't have to be an executioner to appreciate this noose. Nor do you have to have the traditional eight coils. This is actually a very practical, strong, and secure noose, but may become difficult to untie if pulled hard. I only count 7 coils? Oh well lucky 7 and he's DEAD!!!!! :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] :mrgreen: [usa] [greenbann] [dance1] [purple] [devban] [lock] [dancing] [spidey] [hero]

I think they should have messed with him for a while. Like make the rope just long enough that he lands flat footed, then say, "oooppppssss, sorry about that, just kiddin we are really going to kill ya next time." Then make it just long enough to where he land on his tippy toes and kinda do that a few times and then actually hang the fucker. POS!

I heard someone else say that they would like to see a couple of bungie runs to freak out Saddam.

Anybody hearing about an increase in violence because of the execution?
