Saddam Hussein

Recommended Posts

'Hang' in there, Saddam. May Auld Acquaintance and all that. Maybe he should request that his last meal be that chicken stuffed in goat, stuffed in camel malarkey, that should see him in to 2007.

 

 

(edit... found the recipe;

 

From the Al Hasa cookbook -a more than 400 page compilation of recipes compiled by the women's groups, and published in 1976. This recipe from Jo Waters of Abqaiq:

 

1 medium camel

4 lambs

20 chickens (roasted)

150 eggs (boiled)

40 kilos tomatoes

Salt and seasonings

 

Stuff eggs into tomatoes, stuff tomatoes into chickens, stuff chickens into lambs, stuff lambs into camel. Roast until tender Serves 150 people.)

There's no requirement that the condemned finish his last meal before he's executed, is there?

Saddam will be executed before 3 am on the morning of the 30th December

 

Breaking News

 

The only thing that can stop it is lawyers delaying tactics & so on.

 

 

or also here Execution at 6am Iraqi time

 

 

and for DDP listees:

Barzan & Bandar will also be executed at that time

 

 

So, down to 11th in the DDP, and 3 new names now have to be found.....

Looks like it's going to happen. Can't say I mind.

 

Edit to add: got me thinking, why are executions often performed at such ungodly hours like 6 am?

Has there ever been another case on DL where we can actually do a countdown to the death? (or would have been able to if he'd actually been on the 2006 deathlist).

 

Let's see. Reuters has just announced that Brooke Astor will choke on a walnut and die at 23:00 on 31 December. Followed at 23:59 by Jane Wyman.

I wonder will they be hanged one after the other or will it be a triple-header?

 

Makes me even gladder I haven't submitted my DDP or HDP teams yet.

 

They normally do multiple hangings simultaneously, so I am betting on all three going at the same time.

Possibly because any attempted rescue in the twilight would have the same chance of shooting up Sadaam and co. as the guards and executioners. According to Time and Date, sunrise isn't until after 7:00 AM.

I agree with Football Fan, most likely all at the same time. Makes rescue attempts more difficult?

 

Agreed on the submission of teams, although now I have to find two more names...

CNN has changed its front page top news story to a Gerald Fordesque obituary and is reporting that one of Hussein's lawyers is confirming the execution.
