#1 Anger among the Sunni minority was anything but widespread, and the official observers of SH's execution did not taunt him.

There's no such thing as a botched execution, if the guy ends up dead. Barzan's indecorous little ending probably resulted from the hangman's failure to take the prisoner's serious medical problems into account - these probably weakened his frame enough that an excessive drop distance was used.

Other than that, no errors here.

Oh, and the bad guys are all getting what they deserve. And not from a mob. And with evidence and documentation and the right to defend themselves. And ..... oh, is it time to apologize to Europe and the rest of the world for annihilating that odious regime? I forget the schedule for that.

#2 Didn't the English hang the corpse of Oliver Cromwell years after his burial?

Hang Chemical Ali, dig him up and hang him again
