    Videos of his hanging are already flooding the web.The onlookers
    jeered & taunted Saddam right to the end. He left the world shouting
    and he did look scared before the trap door opened.

    The whole thing disgusts me.
    I don't disagree with him dying however, why is there a need for people to watch? All there was needed was one person doing the deed and one person video taping it for those who needed proof. No one needed to be there shouting at him. There was no reason for onlookers. That made us sink to his level, in my opinion.

    Couldn't agree with you more.

    kay. what us? He was tried in an Iragi court, by an Iragi judge, and
    sentenced to death under Iragi law.Hanging is legal in that country.They
    control the courts & set the" arena" for the execution (how many can be
    in the room, etc.)

    No one has to hunt down the link to the video. It was within an NBC
    news website.

    The actual video footage of the hanging happening, or the footage from Iraqi news that showed right up to the point of the noose being placed but did not show the actual hanging? I haven't seen either, but I read an article that described the videos. And I guess what I meant was people who jumped online the moment they heard and went looking for a video so they could watch a man die. I understand feeling of satisfaction that justice was done. To me there is a difference between that and feeling glee as in 'YES! woohoo! I can't wait to see the video of his neck snapping!"

    If anyone here does feel that way, that's their right. But I can't help but feel disturbed by it.
