A bit of good old American craftsmanship will bring about Saddam Hussein's end - a specially constructed gallows that might as well be stamped "Made in the U.S.A."
The custom-made gallows for Saddam is located in a highly secure U.S. military prison at Baghdad airport called Camp Cropper, where the former Iraqi dictator is currently imprisoned.
One morning, sometime between today and 30 days from now, Saddam will be awakened by his American guards and told it's judgment day.
There will be no prior public notification of Saddam's date with the executioner.
Shortly after he is hanged, an announcement will be made to the world that the brutal killer is dead.
Like other Iraqi death-row prisoners, Saddam will be dressed in an orange uniform, and a hood will be placed over his head before his execution. He will be allowed prayers, and a last meal, according to U.S. officials. Then the ex-tyrant will be taken to the American-made gallows, where a handful of Iraqi government officials, U.S. military officers and human-rights officials will be witnesses.

If the guards are smart, they will wake him up EVERY morning and tell him "today is the day".

If they pick a day at random, the probability will be sometime in January. An excellent way to start the year.

It would be sweet to drop him at the same time the ball drops in Times Square to hearld in the New Year. That's 8 a.m. next Monday, Iraq time.

They destroyed all the fun.../some sarcasm
Seriously I want confirmation of his death at least in form of a photo, similar to the photos of Uday, Qusay and Zarqawi.

Hmmm, sounds like what they did to the condemned at Nuremberg. I don't think Saddam's going to escape the hangman like Goering did though.

Why all the cloak-and-dagger? This should be a public deed. All the skulking around makes it seem like we're ashamed of the verdict, or hints at impropriety. I know there are security concerns, and I'm not saying we should open the hanging to the public, but we don't need to do this in the shadows either.

I can imagine someone playing Led Zep's "Gallows Pole" when Saddam's swingin'. Great song and perfect lyrics for the event!
