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..."

DU conducted a poll as to who you are sorrier to see die, Ford or Hussain.

Ford 39%

Hussain 39%

Not as ashamed as your English teacher I'll bet.

As liberal as that is, it was probably posted by an English teacher.

Fox reporting that both still and video cameras were in the chamber with him. I want to see the video myself.

Well, Pelosi is going to have to take sparing the Butcher's life off her To do list for next year.

Thank you Justice. He has been well served.

I agree. A necessary evil, no matter how necessary, is still evil.

Why Hell? Has he not probably been in the presence of Christians for months? Is tere not a chance that they have shared the Good News of salvation? Why not hope that he is in the loving embrace of God?

I don't think he made it to the promised land. Let's just hope he didn't get to the promised virgins.

Tell me that 'DU post' is a fake.......even if it isn't.

OK, it's fake. Just don't look here.

Happy New Year.

I can't get below post #13 because that graphic you have at the beginning of this thread has frozen my server - too much power.

On moonlit heath and lonesome bank
The sheep beside me graze;
And yon the gallows used to clank
Fast by the four cross ways.

A careless shepherd once would keep
The flocks by moonlight there,
And high amongst the glimmering sheep
The dead man stood on air.

That idiot at the DU claims he's ashamed to be human
because of this barbaric act. I'm disappointed to
be sharing a continental land mass with idiots like
that....JJ61
