Thread Name: Obit: Saddam Hussein Dead (29 Dec 2006)
Subject: RE: Obit: Saddam Hussein Dead
Now that the cell-phone video has been made public, what do you think of the government that executed Saddam?

Seems to me that the 'secret' video was designed to increase sectarian violence. With such a high-level execution, you'd think they would make sure no recording devises would be allowed. I can't even take a bottle of shampoo on board an airline but someone can take a recording devise to an execution? What gives?

Do you believe the recorded comments to be factual?

I am having a hard time with the whole televised aspect of this execution. I can never remember a time when an execution was televised for the world. Whats up with this?
