Sadaam faces hanging within 30 days

[hhayes]

Former president Saddam Hussein faced hanging within 30 days on Wednesday, but Iraq's government maintained silence about the conduct of the execution, seeking to contain political tensions his death might unleash.

Speculation on the streets ranged from a swift execution within days, conducted in secret and announced only after the fact, to a public execution broadcast on television — though few believed the latter was likely.

"Our job is done and now it is in the hand of the executive authority. They (the government) have the right to choose the date starting from tomorrow up to 30 days," the head of the court, Aref Abdul-Razzaq al-Shahin, said on Tuesday.

It's what he deserves but I can't help thinking that this is going to inflame the situation and turn him into a martyr for Muslim fanatics.:confused

I would like to watch it too but I wonder if they will keep it confidential because it might incite riots....?

 

[Peter Parka]

I would imagine that they would make the video of it public to confirm he was execucted and to squash any conspiracy theories which would be bound to crop up later on.
