Saddam Hussein hanged, says Al Hurra TV station
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S.-backed Iraqi television station Al Hurra said Saddam Hussein had been executed by hanging shortly before 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Saturday.
The former Iraqi president ousted in April 2003 by a U.S.- led invasion was convicted in November of crimes against humanity over the killings of 148 Shi'ite villagers from Dujail after a failed assassination bid in 1982.
An appeals court upheld the death penalty on Tuesday. Iraq's government has kept details of its plans to conduct the execution completely secret amid concerns it could spark a violent backlash from his former supporters.

Oh no, you're mistaken.... there are comments far more stupid than that on this thread.
MSM: Yet another crushing defeat for the Bush Administration.
My feeling, too. The Israelis must on alert now, because the Islamists will first blame the Jews.

Dog NAILED it... within one post. He predicted (early on I might add, which is when it was harder) 3900. And the official announcement was 3901.
Very appropriate...
