Yes Ivan, I agree.

If I recall correctly, Mussolini was hung by the heels from a lamppost after being killed and then lay in the gutter in the Piazza where all could deface his body. That doesn't sound very pleasant does it :)

If I recall correctly, Mussolini was hung by the heels
from a lamppost after being killed

Mussolini and his entourage were captured
fleeing to Switzerland with German soldiers
on the banks of Lago di Como.
Mussolini was disguised in a German uniform
and was lying down on the car seat
with a cap over his face.
His companions said he was drunk.
("Ubraico. Vino.")
The cap was removed and he was instantly recognized.
After a summary trial
he and his mistress were shot
then taken back to Milan
where they were hung upside down in a petrol station
in Piazza Loretto
Huge crowds assembled to spit on them.

Mussolini was strung up on a meat hook.

Hmmmm. Evil dictator hung by his heels after being killed and then thrown in the gutter.... sounds pleasant enough to me!

>The devastation and death caused by both blasts were graphically shown on Al Jazeera, the Arab TV station.< But of course it was - and do you suppose they'll ever broadcast even the HINT that it was Saddam, and not the coalition that was behind this?
At most, they'll state "the coalition CLAIMED...."
