They video taped his execution with a professional cinematographer apparently, and a guy took still photos.

he took away peoples rights and lives. By killing him they did the same, thus sinking down to his level.

Huh. When I joined it, the rquirement was sending a PM with a debate-like topic.



On many levels, I must agree... But the death penalty was too good for Saddam.

They should have had ghost hunters vaporize his soul.

If you want to debate on who sunk where with what about this, take it to the debate board. This is not to turn into an argument.

Many people think they murdered sadam. Many people think this has made him a martyr.

Wow.. o__O

I would say more, but since this it not debate I'll shuddup. XD

Exactly! Ha ha! I can say what I like as long as it is a statement of fact, there's no debate there.

It's true. Some Iraqis think Saddam is a martyr, because to them parts of the trial were unjust and biased.

Do you really think the defense had any chance, at all, of getting him off.

I do not like the fact that I am being bombarded with these images anytime I go to MSN or a news channel. I don't want to see a picture of someone in the seconds before he dies. Because I know what happened to him in the few seconds after that. There is such a thing as respect for the dead. Even if the dead person is hated by so many. I know that I am OLD, but I remember a time when photographers did not ever photograph the dead. The first time I saw a photograph of a dead person was after the Mexico City earthquake in 1985. Time or Newsweek photographed the rubble and the picture showed a woman's hand, with bright red nailpolish, sticking out of the rubble. I know that they were doing it for shock value, but that picture STILL haunts me. I kept thinking, gosh, if I were dead, I wouldn't want people photographing me. Not even my hand. And I felt sorry for that poor woman. Who had her dignity stripped of her in that way. So, I have stopped going to MSN to check my hotmail simply because I cannot bear seeing this man's face right before he died. Some things are supposed to be private. And in this day and age, it seems like nothing is anymore. Go ahead, call me old-fashioned.

I completely agree with you, Morningstar. I had the exact same reaction when I saw a short clip on the news of them putting a noose around Saddam's neck. It was horrible... and whatever people might say about the wrongs or rights of him being executed, seeing that just felt wrong.

I avoided the news for the rest of the day.

I think it's sick that people record such things and broadcast it on such public programs and sites. Is what people do for money these days? Disgusting.

I think it's horrible, but the video needed to be taken. Otherwise they could have been accused of not actually killing Saddam, but letting him escape. The person who took the shot on the mobile phone, yeuch. And the same reaction to the fact it was broadcast on the news, but there are some people who wouldn't believe that it had happened unless they saw video evidence.
Some people are like that, I guess.

Rock on, Morningstar, I agree. :o Old-fashioned isn't always bad!

Don't hurt the messenger Morningstar, i'm only stating the fact off CNN from that first night. I myself have no interest in seeing the video. Images have always been taken or created of death and dying. I just believe they havn't always been shoved so eagerly into the publics face.
