Looks like it’s going to be tonight.
Looks like Saddam has seen his last sunrise. They’re saying he’s going to hang by 6 a.m. Baghdad time – 10 p.m. Eastern Time.

Somebody wrote an e-mail to my favorite sportswriter (Bill Simmons, espn.com) suggesting that instead of executing Hussein, put him in a cell and charge a nominal fee ($25 or foreign equivalent) for a viewing. So not only does it provide the opportunity to, publicly humiliate the once proud dictator (i.e. actual punishment) it makes it financially worthwhile to keep him around. And really, who would pass at the chance to see Saddam lounging around in his boxers?

As mentioned earlier, the former Cheif Judge of the Revolutionary court and one of his half-brothers are sentenced to death. Another to life, many to 15 years and one acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Pim was the guy I was thinking of. Thanks.
C’mon, Saddam, give in to the Dark Side. Let the world know you are a true coward.
…and BBC calls it as done.
