до смертної кари вiдношус негативно, навiт якшо Саддам заслужив, його страта була би провокацiєю. Але органiзували то все як дуже пiду провокацiю.

The unofficial recording, lasting almost two and a half minutes, showed scenes not broadcast in an official Iraqi government video of the execution. It was shot from a different angle, with manacled Saddam seen facing the camera, shuffling towards the trap-door.
The 69-year-old, who ruled Iraq for 24 merciless years, is surrounded by five masked guards. An audience of 15, including representatives of the Iraqi government, were there too.
In the exchange with his guards Saddam attempts to justify his war against Iran, which cost a million lives, and laughably proclaims victory against the United States.
One of the guards then shouts: “You have destroyed us. You have killed us. You have made us live in destitution.” Saddam counters: “I have saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Persians and Americans.”
The outraged guard then snarls: “God damn you” — and the former leader returns the insult. A voice is also picked up saluting Muslim Shi’ite leader Moqtada al-Sadr, whose father is thought to have been murdered in 1999 by Saddam’s thugs. “Moqtada, Moqtada, Moqtada,” intoned the unseen figure.
Several seconds pass as Saddam, dressed in a woollen black knee- length overcoat, black trousers and white shirt, stands on the trap-door.
The noose with its giant knot is placed around his neck and lays on his left shoulder.
Saddam had already declined a hood. He claimed: “Death does not frighten me. We are going to Heaven and our enemies will rot in Hell.”
As the hangman prepares to pull the lever to open the trap-door, Saddam chants the Muslim profession of faith. “God is Great and Mohammed is his prophet. Palestine is Arab.”
His last words are: “I bear witness that Mohammed . . . ”
It is the beginning of the second verse of the invocation, but before Saddam can complete it the executioner sends him hurtling to his death.
Saddam is seen plunging through the trap-door. As he dropped his neck snapped with an audible crack.
According to one witness he died with his eyes open. In the video his corpse is then seen dangling at the end of the rope with his head at a grotesque angle. One onlooker proclaims: “The tyrant has fallen.”
Another voice orders: “Let him swing for three minutes.”
But his motionless body was left to dangle for TEN MINUTES before a doctor pronounced him dead. During that time the guards and executioner performed their dance.
Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie who was present, said: “It’s a very ordinary action of a number of people — some officials, some ordinary people, even the executioner, because they have lost their loved ones, their fathers, brothers, sisters, this is a natural reaction.” The corpse was later taken down, washed and wrapped in a white shroud.
Traces of blood were seen where the noose had cut into the neck. Saddam’s remains were then placed in a coffin.
Saddam had been sentenced to death for the mass murder of 148 Shia Muslims in 1982. The violence in Iraq continued yesterday. Six US troops were killed in ambushes following the hanging. Two children died in a rocket attack on Baghdad.
Two car bombs in Baghdad also killed two... BLa-Bla-Bla
