orribolollie 0 #34 December 11, 2006 Haaha a Christmas day execution..ohh thats in the Christmas spirit isnt it!!! On this day Christ was born (apparently) and Saddam was publically slain. Perhaps we could get him to sing and put tinsel on his head....some pretty lights around the gallows maybe. I vote NO to televising his execution it would be absurd. That kind of medeival behaviour is why he is in court. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wanted to be executed by firing squad since it is more honorable (in his eyes). He should be hanged in private with as few witnesses as needed and with no fanfair at all. Deny him the attention he so desperately craves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 2 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
