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..."

I wish there was a better way to end this evil without acting so barbaric.

Yar, cookies and hugs next time, for sure.

In an effort to "disqalify" the Dearborn Iraqis, one of the CNN talking heads commented they were mostly Iraqi-Christians.

"Went to trial Nov 19, 2005. Sent to his maker Dec 29, 2006. We have a lot to learn from the Iraqi justice system."

And, even then, it took tooooooo long!

About 10 times shorter than our own death penalty.

Once the talking head tells you Saddam is successfully executed, they really don't have too much to say.

Nope,... the Dearborn and Hamtramick Muslims are just that Muslims, Mosques, shahibs, burkhas and all.

Nope.  The Iraqi Christian population is rather large (Caldean, Chaldean) here and they drive around with Bush bumper stickers and attend Catholic churches, I know many.  To be sure there is a sizeable population of the koranimal mentality as you mention but there is also a huge segment, truly 'assimilated' in our society going back decades.  They hate saddam more than you know and are partying in the streets as local news is reporting.

I'm not related to Pa. Dutch, but closely associated with them both by lineage and by geographical proximity. My parents could speak this dialect and also Hochdeutsch and Suddeutsch. Of these dialects, I can read and speak only Hochdeutsch because my parents focused upon assimilating into the USA and, therefore allowed only the english language to be spoken.

Nevertheless, when my father was talking privately with me he would tell me Hochdeutsch jokes: eg., Was ist los?---Was ist nicht verbunden is los."---funny stuff, huh?
