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..."

Hey "bud",

Like I said. They were details. But be sure you let that distract you from the thrust of my argument: you are a statist with fascist tendencies toward your fellow citizens.

You are a good example of a woman that makes people wonder if we'd be better off if women couldn't vote.

I'm a moderate; do you think I want you to join a cult?

People who stand in the middle of the road for too long end up as road kill.
Today, JFK would be considered a rabid right winger. How far left are you willing to go? 40% of our wages are already lost to taxes and government fees. Will you go to 50%? 60%?
How about the moral decine: social dependency, disease, and mental problems associated with political correctness. How many souls have to fall before you notice and say "Enough moderation. Enough politically correct thought control! Do something!"

Well, with that statement, I guess nobody has to wonder about you, huh: you're pretty much a pig.

The CNN claim about dancing around the body was reported earlier in the thread. Wasn't just you that heard it!
