Also, a few questions about the hanging. Will the judicial hanging be the short drop, standard drop or long drop? Go to Richard Clark's website (no, not that Richard A. Clarke) on the details on hangings, how hanging causes death and the equipment used in hangings.

Quite an interesting read.

Be forwarned. Some links contain graphic images. Though it'll be interesting to know...

Hanging was used extensively in Iraq during Saddam's rule, ironically so. It is still the preferred method under the new government.

Is Saddam dead yet?

Is Saddam dead yet?

"He's dead, Jim."

As for the method of execution, I'd have to say (for myself) that hanging is the least preferable. Especially after I read the science behind it (long before this post).
