Saddam Video of Body after Hanging (New 1-8-07)

The Drop Broke Saddam's neck killing him instantly. At the executions following the Nuremberg Trials others were not so lucky.

THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY--AND OF ALL TIME, PART TWO

"..The executions, in a brightly lighted prison gymnasium where three looming black wooden gallows had been erected, were witnessed by a handful of Allied military officers and eight journalists, one of whom, Kingsbury Smith of International News Service, wrote a famous newspaper article, "The Execution of Nazi War Criminals, 16 October 1946," based on his eyewitness observations. Although Smith discreetly omitted mentioning it, the experienced Army hangman, Master Sgt. John C. Woods, botched the executions. A number of the hanged Nazis died, not quickly from a broken neck as intended, but agonizingly from slow strangulation. Ribbentrop and Sauckel each took 14 minutes to choke to death, while Keitel, whose death was the most painful, struggled for 24 minutes at the end of the rope before expiring..."

I work at a post office job, nights, and got to hear coverage of it via CNN, simulcast on WTKK FM 96.9 in Boston. They were all set to go to a tape delayed Laura Ingraham show with guest host Tammy Bruce when suddenly they went to CNN--and stuck with it for 3 hours!

Of the other 2 main talk stations in town, one (WRKO) had
a Really Exciting Celtics Basketball Game while the other
(WBZ) had a Really Exciting Boston Bruins Hockey Game.
After the Celts, WRKO went to Coast to Coast which did
talk Saddam, and WBZ's Jordan Rich went on a few minutes
early and talked Saddam.

At our post office (sorting center) they have one TV which is permanently set on CNN Headline News. Outside of
a top of the hour news update at 11 pm ET (about Saddam),
they gave us really important stuff like Nancy Grace
(subject: Scott Peterson) and Showbiz Tonight. Saddam who?

Hanging tyrants is WONDERFUL and lets other tyrants know that they are NOT as "safe" as they might hope that they are. Thank President Bush and our brave troops for that one!

The IRS is something else again and this thread has already been hijacked far TOO much already, for YOU to attempt to shove it off, yet again, into even more foreign waters.

Get THAT drift? ;^)

I have a question about Nancy Grace.

In light of all the new revelations about Mike Nifong, has she even bothered to admit she was wrong about that Duke Lacrosse case?

OT, of course.

This has been a long time coming. This morning I genuinely shed a tear. This man outlived so many good people. My tear was for them.

I'd raise a glass to that, in the afternoon (of course).

Well, it's our job to make sure that McCaine does NOT win the nomination and also that NO Democrat takes the presidency. No one said it'd be easy. But we will need 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 voters all pulling the same lever to keep the RAT out. No third party will be able to accomplish those kind of numbers and sitting at home for damn sure will NOT get the job done. Best be reconciling yourself to fight for freedom or surrender to the RATs. There are no other options.
