Thanks for bringing us this news. I thought P&N had the monopoly on all the news feeds. Boy, was I wrong!

Oops, I actually didn't know we have a political forum

Hmmm.. I was going to comment but can't think of anything to say.

About four years to late they should have shot him in the Rat hole.

Damn... I wanted him to rot in prison for the rest of eternity (or at least until we can prolong his life, so he can suffer more).

Saddam, to be hung. Ok, next! Kim Jong, are you ready to party?

Afterwards will Bush and crew feast on his flesh?

BTW: My state, Washington, is one of only three left in the US that can hang people

Very good.

Hanging is typically the method of killing a criminal. Firing squad is for soldiers. You can see why they picked that method.

yeah, you can only get the firing squad if you were in the army.

ironically saddam failed to get into the army by failing the entry tests. so the rule is military people get the gun, civilian types get the noose
