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..."

Fox shows a little more than CNN, but it still cuts off before the director yells action.

I'm sure it will end up on Ogrish shortly.....

'Cause he can't delude himself that he going to his 72 virgins, but a one way ticket to H***.

Too bad he didn't repent and accept Jesus. May G_d have justice for the people who the murderer denied.

He looks awful --- scared and worried --- almost like he's in disbelief.

He sort of looks drugged too...

From the brief tape shown, he went like a man. Credit where it's due. Once the tape is released of his body, that'll be enough for me, and hopefully for his victims. I just fear a little too much grave-dancing.

Thank you, muchas, to the troops, living and passed, that made this possible.

I was actually thinking he looks pretty calm. I was thinking I would see a lot more fear in his face based on one report.

He sort of looks drugged too...

I wonder if he was given something?--to take the edge off.
