#1 If true...

Imagine the coming Hue and Cry™. Apologists the world over will go apeshit... and the Sunnis and remaining Ba'athists will have a monumental case of cognitive dissonance not seen since, well, wince Uday and Qusay had their Bonnie & Clyde moment.

Popcorn, anyone?

#5 I do not want to be morbid, .com, but we better line up a caterer for this event now.

Sammy's demise is overdue. Check out the mass grave website and see what this modern day monster is capable of doing.

#12 It's against my principles to pay extra for TV shows, but I'd be glad to fork over to view this.

Does champagne go with popcorn? ;-p

GREAT idea, Dar!

#19 Mucky, the best information I have been able to Google so far is that the use of capital punishment was suspended by the US Central Command as Saddam Hussein was ousted from power. However, the interim Iraq government re-instated the death penalty on August 8, 2004 for a limited range of crimes including murder, kidnapping, rape, drug offences and threats to national security. The prescribed method of execution is hanging or shooting (firing squad?).

#20 I hope it is filmed, so future generations can learn from his murderous history and miserable end. Same as the Ceaucescus (anyone have an online video of that?).

Ceaucescu's death was broadcast on Romanian TV as a way of breaking the resistance of the Securitate. Saddam should have been tried and executed a long time ago. They should do the same with high-level terrorists and Baathists they catch. Make them sing then wrap them in pigskin and execute them on tv.

Heads of killed enemy leaders used to be displayed on pikes for a good reason.

#22 I'd still prefer the treatment Macduff proposed to Macbeth:

Then yield thee, coward,
And live to be the show and gaze o' the time:
We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are,
Painted upon a pole, and underwrit,
"Here may you see the tyrant."

#23 Where is Vlad the Impaler when you need him? He could shove a sharpened pole up your ass and out your mouth so that you lived for about three days. Just hanging out.
