BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- An Iraqi government official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that preparations were under way to hang two of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants on Thursday.
Al-Arabiya satellite television and Al-Furat TV, run by Iraq's major Shiite Muslim political organization, both also reported that Saddam's half brother Barzan Ibrahim, a former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, would be put to death Thursday.
The government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said the exact place and time of the hangings had not been set.
The two co-defendants were originally scheduled to hang last Saturday along with Saddam.
The former Iraqi leader and the two co-defendants were convicted and sentenced to hang on Nov. 5 and the verdict was upheld by the appellate court on Dec. 26.

If/when the Iraqi government gets it act together and continues with it's house cleaning, the sooner we can come home.
Cue the music, set the table, and...
"Pop a top my friend."
I say daisy chain them - noose tied to the feet of the guy behind him and the first one to a crane. Then just lift of up the entire chain o' filth to create a wiggling vine of Justice.
that gets my vote
Any bets on whether a video of the event from a cell phone will be posted on the net?

"It was Barzan all along"
Watch out, you guys...you better not be engaging in "revelry" over the death of these two evil cockroaches, or Mr. Soupcon will be in here to lecture you!
I'd say that both of these ghouls are stone cold dead by now. Guessing, it's around 1130 am Baghdad time. I suspect these gomers are dead by at least 5 hours. Rigor mortis has set in. That's all folks. NEXT!
