Saddam Hussein Hanging LIVE Thread

Posted on 12/29/2006 9:11:00 AM PST by AVNevis

Since it now seems very imminent, I decided that it was an appropriate time to start this up. Links to information and pictures (if we get them) can be posted here.

It ceased to be Friday on the Muslim calendar at sunset. They consider it to be Saturday there right now, even if we don't say it's Saturday there for another couple hours.

Iraq is 8 hours ahead of us.

They've gotten a new rope for the occasion, though. Less stretchy.

I'm singin' in the rain
While they're stringin' Hussein
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Though it's dark in Baghdad
The sun's in my brain
And I'm ripe for champagne

I'll dance down the lane
With a happy refrain
'Cause I'm rockin' and rollin'
And swingin' like a chain
Rockin' and rollin'
While he's swingin' in the rain
Uncork the champagne

Leni

FOX has there headline saying SH is in Iraqi custody. RIGHT ABOVE that they have a Breaking News item that says Saddam is still in American custody.

His head is in US custody and below the neck, stretched to Iraq custody, me thinks...

Saddam to die Saturday: Judge

REUTERS

Appeals court judge and head of ex-dictator's legal team suggest execution could come soon

December 29, 2006
Reuters and the
Associated Press

DUBAI — U.S. officials have transferred former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to Iraqi custody, the chief defence lawyer said today in an indication that Saddam’s execution may be imminent.
"The American side has notified us that they have handed over the president to the Iraqi authorities," said Khalil al-Dulaimi, head of Saddam’s defence team.

"They told us the president is no longer under the authority of the American forces and they requested us not to go to Baghdad," he said.

Munir Haddad, a judge on the appeals court that upheld Saddam’s death sentence, said he was ready to attend the execution that he said would be held Saturday.

“All the measures have been done,” Haddad said. “There is no reason for delays.’’

In Baghdad, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has signed Saddam’s death sentence, a government official said.

The appeals court on Tuesday upheld Saddam’s Nov. 5 death sentence for crimes against humanity for the killings, torture and other crimes against the Shi’ite population of the town of Dujail.

Although legally in Iraqi custody, U.S. troops had hitherto physically kept guard over Saddam. Although Iraqis will carry out the execution, U.S. and Iraqi officials say, it is likely U.S. forces will stay on hand throughout for fear that opponents of the former leader could turn it into a public spectacle.

Senior Iraqi officials have dismissed mounting speculation, including some from Washington, that they could hang Saddam within hours and said some in the cabinet were pushing for it to be put off for a month or more.

But a defence lawyer said he thought Saddam might well die on Saturday after lawyers were told to collect his belongings.

Shi’ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who has demanded the ousted president to be put to death this year for killing and oppressing Shi’ites, said there would be "no review or delay" in the sentence after this week’s failure of Saddam’s appeal.

With some of Saddam’s fellow Sunnis angry at what they see as a political act of vengeance by the U.S.-sponsored court and many Kurds keen to see him first convicted of genocide against them, the timing of Saddam’s walk to the gallows is an explosive issue for a country on the brink of sectarian civil war.

So Drunk Uncle Teddy would only have to drop about 2 inches?

The distance isn't quite that elastic, though I'd recommend using a 2" steel cable so the noose doesn't break.

Hm.

I was hoping and imagining the old hanging where they would get rid of the stool or whatever and he would have to stand there for a minute struggling to breathe.

This is a pansy hanging just breaking the neck. That sucks.

Female newsreader on MSNBC got so choked up she couldn't even speak. They had to go to commercial.

[I don't think she was choked up about Saddam, but was probably dry throat.]

Lawyer = Truth? Impossible.
