BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein will hang at dawn on Saturday, Iraqi officials told Reuters, setting a dramatic end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades before a U.S. invasion and his conviction for crimes against humanity.
"They just called to tell me to be ready to attend the hanging at 5:30 a.m. (O230 GMT)," said a court official whose presence is demanded by law. The execution was planned by 6 a.m., he added, although he did not know where it would happen.

Wow. Never thought about this. Methinks that lawyer is headed for the airport!
Always knew Saddam was a Swinger!
I just happen to be listening to Johnny's last one "When the Man Comes Around." right now. The title song is expecially appropriate for 'ole Saddam right now.
I'm still looking to see if they've been demolished.

They had to leave them so Allegra and other FReepers could get their pix taken under them, silly. Rove is the photo op-meister!
Shirley you can't be series.
Because they were allegedly moved by the Soviets?
Hi, Howlin.
Just caught this: two others are to be hanged with Saddam? Do we know who they are?
Too long would be spectactular but....em....too quick.
At least with too short he will flail around for a while.
watching the file footage today on Saddam....
He was shown kissing children, visiting wounded soldiers..footage by our MSM of course.
On another note - this thread is certainly illustrative of an eye for an eye....
FReepers ready to lock & load...figuratively at least.
The Sultan of Swing!
His half brothers, I think. The family that plays together hangs together.
Prayer times for Baghdad-

He's gonna go just after 9:30 eastern
Saddam should be hung, cremated, and his ashes fed to pigs..
You rang?
Sure. Just implement Sharia Law, and rename us the Islamic Republic of America. Are you serious about that?
It's buried somewhere in this thread. One is a half-brother of Saddam.
What did CNN do earlier today?
