Hi Gaz,

I can't link to it but I'm sure our 'Proud Canadian Quebecer' will be glad to provide us a link and gleefully point it out as another one of America's F-ups.

No worries Nic, here's another if you're interested.. (pretty crappy camera phone effort, but it shows the whole thing.)

Our TOS

omb, There are no openly graphic pictures uploaded on our server that you are confronted with when you open this thread.

The links provided do not go to pages containing porn or advertised porn.

The video is topical and can now be found on news channels and all over the internet, it's no secret to most of us.

The OP just replied

No worse than Nick Berg being posted some 2 years ago...

I hear that most muslims take it as an insult according to al Jazeera... Saddam was hagned on the same day that the christians consider the good friday.

According to this muslim holiday, the march to mecca equals the march abraham undertook in order to kill his son as commended by god. In a lot of ppl eyes, Saddam is already considered a martyr. Some as much as some ppl do still believe that Elvis is still alive, same will go with saddam if it's not already the case.

it was shot in HD

Wearing a rumpled green suit and holding a Sony HDTV video camera in his right hand, Ali recalled the dictator's last moments. "He was saying things about injustice, about resistance, about how these guys are terrorists," he says. On the way to the gallows, according to Ali, "Saddam said, ‘Iraq without me is nothing.’"

Saddam's execution continues to disintigrate into the latest in a seemingly endless series of political and tactical blunders by the US occupation. From Pat Lang:

We have made some colossal errors in Iraq but this is among the worst:

1- We killed a former (?) head of state. The Shia government did it? What a joke! Neocons! Do you imagine that anyone believes this? Maliki would not even go to the execution. No. We will be blamed and rightly so. We provided "advisors" to the trial judges.

2- We made him a figure for legend and he took advantage of it. "God is Great! Long live Iraq! Palestine is Arab." That is what he uttered on the gallows with the rope around his neck. You damned fools! What do you think will be the war cry with which millions of Muslims will confront us and our "regional allies?"

3-The, oh so clever Iranian political warfare machine (and friends) have tried for many years to denigrate the Iraqi army that fought Iran and defeated it. The men who served in that army know how well they fought. For good or ill he was their commander in chief. Do you think that deliberately humiliating him in the manner of his death will serve the cause of reconciliation in Iraq?

4- We allowed his execution in the month of Pilgrimage, just before the Feast of Sacrifice when a holocaust of sacrificed animals will be offered. Could you have given him a better gift?

5-Is it really true that Moqtada al-Sadr's people participated in the execution? Is it true?

6-How like Al Queda's executions this was. How like.

What more could you have given him?

Now he belongs to the ages.

So it has come to this. People are defending and even applauding Saddam's crimes against humanity, against millions of his own countrymen, because of our own president's poor popularity. People don't get much more petty than this.
