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..."
WOW!
Finally a thread with some ZIP again! The "Waiting" thread was seriously showing lethargic tendencies
CNN is showing Dearborn,Michigan celebrating...I can't believe Greta on Fox is not showing this.
He was hooded, I believe.
Yes it is and thank GOD for President Bush! :-)
I am staying away from CNN.....I did my time watching Colmes....but that was worthwhile.....he had a tough night!
I can't believe CNN is showing it, other than to try to illustrate that Dearborn is full of "good guys"...
He was likely wearing a hood. I wanted to see the same thing, too.
Oh, you know it! Crying, crying, crying.............
Hey Howlin! You've been here a long time, almost as long as me, and I don't recall you gettin' in such a dither before.
What's up?
It's only 47k bytes.
Iraqi-Americans in Dearborn, Michigan are celebrating in the streets. So far, I've only seen footage on Fox News.
They are now on CNN if you can stomach Cooper...
Too bad Dearborn didn't thank Bush or the GOP in the last two elections.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
Justice has been served.
The mainstream media is deeply saddened.
Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch.
I'm sick to death of the likes of Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan -- you know, all the talking heads that sold out the GOP.
