...On an important note, before my thread gets locked, this is not the debate thread.
No news story yet- no news site I've looked at has uploaded their story yet.

As far as I know, there's no posting requirement. Just PM the mod with whatever the requirements are.

Well.. meep. They did do that fast. I thought people sat in death row for years.. special case I guess.. I don't much believe in death penalty, but he was a bad man, and I'm glad they're all happy over there.

I want to say that I am not sympathizing with Saddam. I know he tortured and killed plenty of innocent people, and I think his death was necessary. However, I think(and this isn't intended to spark a debate, as I know some will disagree with me) that it was too sudden. Two days ago it was "Saddam sentenced to hang within 30 days" and now he's dead. I worry about the backlash from it; I have no problems with his actual execution, as long as it was quick and relatively painless.

There is.
150 post count recommended before applying, unless arrangements have been made with the moderator.
However, DarkAngel is pretty close to the post requirement.

Yeah, that video is everywhere now :/

Have they ever publically broadcasted it on American televisions yet?. I was up to 2am watching it just for historic purposes and they kept mentioning the video -- I seriously doubt it though, having censorship standards and all.
I knew that video would be out on the internet by now. *avoids*

It's all over the arabic networks - Iraqi people everywhere are rejoicing to see his face so confused, it's finally hit him that he's actually going to die.
