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..."

At this time I'd like to say something nice about the departed


Ah

Uhhhhhh






Nope nothing comes to mind
Except for
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

Ever heard of "an eye for an eye"?

And yes, the whole world is watching. And taking notes. Do we care if they "like" us? Not really. I, personally, hope they fear us.

Any truth to the rumor that Senator Harry Reid will be cancelling his Peru trip to attend the funeral?

Went to trial Nov 19, 2005.

Sent to his maker Dec 29, 2006.

We have a lot to learn from the Iraqi justice system.

I wonder how many of the Dem leadership will be flying to Iraq for the funeral. Probably more than will attend Ford's.
