My dad was watching CCN and just like 2 minutes ago, breaking news hit, that Saddam is gonna be hung before 10pm eastern time.
They said that there's not gonna be any live footage of the hanging but there might be pictures later.
Anyone else watching the news right now?
Im not watching the news, i didnt know when he was being executed.
meh I don't watch the news that much coupled with the fact that I don't believe in the Death Penatly means I'm staying away from this.
They have announced it to be at 10pm now. O.O
Me and a few others at a RP board were debating whether he should be executed or get life in prison, i think he shouldve just got life in prison.
Watching it on the Fox News channel.
Saddam plus two others. And it looks like Iraq will release a video of the hanging sometime in the future.
edit-
They're saying 2-3 hours are left!
@Roz:
I thought it was by 10 PM.
Hangings are very unpleasant.
My mistake, 9:30 - 10:00pm - 5:30am - 6:00am (Iraq)
We need to make T-shirts
Fox News sez: 9:30 - 10 PM.
edit-
Fox News sez: pictures shortly following the hanging.

I wasn't even thinking about this yesterday when I watched the "Not Without My Anus" and "Do the handicapped go to hell?"/"Probably."
Odd timing.

Ah, pictures? :/
Do you think we'll be able to put them on the forums when they do come out?:blink:
@Roz:
Why the crap would you want to do that?
If people want to beat off to a dead guy, they can look for photos themselves. Like I said earlier, hangings are nasty business.
I'm not saying that I want someone to do it, I'm just saying that someone is bound to put it up without notice
I've never gotten why hanging was the sentence.
I was under the impression that we had better ways to go on with death penalties now.
It would have been ironic if they had sentenced him to a gas chamber. Meet the same fate as that village he killed.
I might look at a picture but if they put out a video on youtube I'll probably watch it.
Ah, pictures? :/
I think they said pics. A news anchor said they were going to post something, but I didn't quite catch what it was. It sounded like he said photos, and I can't think of anything that sounds like photos that would have to do with his death. I remember them saying they were going to be very careful in deciding what material they were going to display.
@Roz:
Why the crap would you want to do that?
To convince the non-believers.
edit-
Now they're saying that they don't know what will be on the video (They sound like they're sure there will be a video). They don't know if it will include Saddam being escorted to the hanging, the noose being tied around his neck, the actual execution, the reaction to his death, or anything.
I remember hearing on the news earlier that there's going to be quite a few videos and photos because everyone knows that the people who don't want Saddam to be dead will refuse to believe it when he is.
Flip-flopping Fox News sez: 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours left.
The body will be burried in an unmarked grave.
@Pass:

That's probably the most respectful thing they can do, although I'm not sure that hiding the corpse will do much good.
I can imagine that people will be crazy enough to want… Souvenirs.

Though I wonder how much an arm would go for on eBay.
Fox News sez: minus 60 minutes.
It's 5:05 AM in Baghdad. They want him dead at sunrise, so maybe 55 minutes left.
Is anyone actually happy about this. I'm not, since it could cause an outbreak. I agree with tihm dying by a life sentence as opposed to a hanging.
I'm happy. The guy ruled by fear and had his son-in-law killed for opposing him.
Fox news sez: final preparations under way.
edit-
preparations done. Should be any minute now.
Well if it's going to be by 10, it has to happen in the next few minutes.
Here we go.
Saddam is at the execution site.
This is starting to feel kinda like the new years countdown.
Speaking of which, what a hell of a way to end 2006.
He should be dead by now since it's 4 past 10 est time.
Fox news sez: it's offical!
Barzan Ibrahim, Awad Hamed Al-Bandar, and Saddam Hussein are now dead.
@Roz:
Oh, I'm sure there are a lot out there.
That hella made me laugh. Wow, I need to make chocolate sausages during the time he's being hanged. Wow.
You guys got me tripped! I was reporting in the original thread.
Wikipedia sure is quick
Have they actually shown a video of it?
Woah! Saddam is dead lol XD
They kinda can't, dude.
They kinda can't, dude.
I woulda made a crack dub of the execution if it was taped and post it on youtube
So would I, but tell you the truth? Alot of people would probably find it offensive and YouTube would probably ban.
And I don't want saddam supporters hunting me down for making fun of their god.
I like I said in the other topic, I have kinda mixed feelings on this, and stuff. But all is done. But it's going to be wierd with one of the most evilest people of our time is gone now.
Meh, we still got Bin-laden.
Yeah, I almost forgot about that we still have Mr. hide under of the rock, with the mole people Bin Ladin.
That guy is like a cockroach, just we haven't managed to kill him yet to see if he comes back.

A dumbass that doesn't have the balls to face his fate.
Wasn't the reason he did 9/11 cause he was about to have sex with a American girl and she laughed at his "small member"?
The mole people are far more dangerous than Bin Laden will ever be. Their purpose is sinister.

Bin's going to be a corpse by the time they find him or either hanged himself from the craziness Xd
@Daisuke:

Yep, so damn true. I would have the same thing, but you beated me to it. xD
Fox News showed video of dead children on Iraq grounds, stating that they were allowed to do so. They continued to question why they could show that but not a video of Saddam getting hung.
I don't think fighting to get a video of a man being hung is worth posting a disturbing video of several children's body in mutilated poses.
