Saddam Will Hang

Ok, I know I'm one of those "hate America" liberals but here's the thing. Saddam got convicted for crimes that
occurred 15 months before Donald Rumsfeld, then the special envoy to Iraq, met with Hussein in Baghdad to develop an alliance between the administration of Ronald Reagan and that of the murderous Iraqi dictator.
That's why Saddam was tried in Iraq and not in an International Court. It's also unlikely an International Court would have given Saddam the death sentence. Life in prison would have been much more likely.



Rumsfield really needs to go. Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives, Generals, the American people agree. The "Decider" needs to decide now.



One question though. When hanging Saddam will they use the "short drop", "standard drop", "long drop (measured drop)" or "suspension" hanging (currently used in Iran)? Above is a picture of Tom Ketchum being hung (from Wikipedia). His head came off.

The last hanging in the USA was in Delaware in 1996. For the morbidly curious of you, more info complete with drop tables can be found here.
