What I had heard was they wanted him executed by the start of the Muslim holiday (Eid, I think). Sunset in Baghdad is 9 am
Eastern Time, or thereabouts, tomorrow...and just as with
Judaism, I guess the Muslim day begins at sundown the night before; thus the need to hang him before sunset on Sat.

Please keep our troops in your prayers as Saddam's loyalists will probably go on another rampage over this coming weekend. May our Lord keep them safe while these thugs commit their crimes of murder and mayhem.

They should let him hang around for a while.

He has technically been handed over, but you better believe that there are numerous soldiers in close proximity to him.

I am envisioning the handover like this.

US guy: sign here, here and here.
Iraq guy: Okay
US guy: he's all yours.
Iraq guy: Thanks.
US guy: We are going to hold him for a little bit then take his a$$ to the gallows.
Iraq guy: Okay, thanks. See you at the hang'n.

He was not being moved, just administratively transferred to Iraqi custody, but in the same facility

Didn't know this. Thanks.

Here's what awaits Saddam in Hell.

Nah he'd probably like those babes. Helen Thomas is more his nightmare, she's older'n Allah, Arabic, and has been rode hard and put up wet way, way too many times.

But I'll not burden our eyeballs by posting her pic.

He should be stoned.

No, we want him lucid during his execution.

In Baghdad, tomorrow begins in 3 3/4 hours.

Yes... a little squeaky voiced actress singing "The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow" as Saddam walks up and has the noose placed around his neck ...

Cruel and unusual -- but I like it.

That noose is not tied correctly. There should be twelve coils in the knot.

If it's already on "the street" that he's been handed over, my guess is he's already dead.

That's not a bad guess, given how they have done similar things in the past to keep the enemy off guard. Like the transfer of sovreignty that took place 3 days early, for instance.

They may be in the editing room, spooling up the laugh track for Saddam's video as we speak.
