Saddam’s Video: Told ya so!
As I mentioned in Saddam Hussein Executed in Iraq, the video of Saddam’s hanging is already online. According to YouTube, approximately 100,000 people have already viewed this video. A more accurate number is hard to get since there appears to be numerous YouTube postings of the same video.
Although I am against “death videos”, I do feel that this video serves a purpose as I’ve heard a number of people state how they thought the Iraqi’s would shuffle him away, or execute someone else in his place. Knowing that he got the justice he deserves, while proving to the eastern world that tyrannical rule and terrorism would not be tolerated anymore, is definitely welcome to me.
EDIT: A guard has been arrested for sneaking a cell phone into the execution chamber. It is reported that he will be tried for this crime.
