Do you think Saddam's execution should be televised?

• LFNM--You are quite welcome. I can buy alcohol, smokes, and lottery tickets. Vote, drive, get married, I am an adult for crying out loud. I think I am quite capable of determining what is appropriate for me to view on TV. Sheesh! Common sense good :) Thanks

• I have already seen it...It's not brutal at all really. Hanging isn't exactly the most brutal of deaths.

• Castrate sorry but I disagree with you in that many times they do not die instantly hence the hood and a curtain that is pulled. I researched this on the web and also watched a taped interview with a CNN reporter who was an actual witness to a hanging in Oregon I think it was, the last hanging in the states I believe. While there is not a lot of gore, it can very much so be brutal. Also, punishment in the name of justice should not be an exploited event. Just my opinion. I have heard people at work say they saw it online by that guard's phone video and that it appeared he was dead at the drop but this is not always the case.

• Well, since you haven't actually seen a hanging like I have, and since the video barley shows him dying at all, I think I can be more accurate than you, about how "brutal" the video was. I think it was made by a camera phone, and it leaked onto the internet. If you would like to see for yourself, let me know, and I'll give you a link to it, assuming you can't find it yourself, or just don't want to.

• Castrate not be be rude but you cannot judge all hangings by one. That is absurd.. also, watching a video and from what I have gathered from every person that has said they have watched it, it was not clear footage and you were not there to witness it. I will take the words of someone who actualy sat in on a hanging over someone who watched a camera phone video. Research online also states that not all victims die instantly - which was what was stated. Nothing was stated as far as whether he Saddam died instantly- which even yourself state "barely shows him dying at all (wow @! your own argument rofl) - comprehension skills would be wonderful when debating.

• Well, I don't know why you would think I would consider that to be rude, but thank you for being so polite. And I didn't mean that hanging in of itself isn't brutal, I only meant that the Saddam video wasn't very brutal at all. And that probably had to do a lot with the video quality being as bad as it was.

• Thursday sucked but today was a lot better. I'm usually not in favor of the death penalty but in this case I'm pretty happy. And remember the Americans didn't execute him the Iraqi's did. It was their choice and I don't really blame them.

• Yes, I have seen it, it is available on the internet. It was made by a camera phone I think, and when he was actually dropped, while he was hanging, the person with the camera went all crazy, and you couldn't see anything until he got up close to Saddam. But Saddam was already dead by time he got there I think. It really isn't that brutal. A very deserved death considering what he had done to other people and their families.
