Here in the newsroom, we just watched the leaked video of Saddam’s death. We see the noose being placed around his neck. We see him tell his hangmen to “go to hell” when they start chanting rudely. Then the trapdoor opens, Saddam disappears and the video goes black. We hear shouting, we know something’s going on, and then there he is; Saddam bathed in light, still attached to the noose. His neck snapped. He’s dead.
Definitive proof, should the conspiracy nuts have reason to complain. Case closed. The end. Over with.
Although I suppose there is a chance that it was completely rigged and that Saddam was spirited away and replaced by one of his unluckier body doubles amidst the confusion.
atleast tha execution was fair

The execution was a fair as the trial – rotten to the core. Saddam deserved to go on trial for everything he’d done, not for killing 20 people. The only reason he wasn’t taken to the Hague is that his war crimes were perpetrated using weapons bought from Washington, London and Paris
