Did anyone see the full Saddam execution video? I managed to look it up on the net and see the whole thing (including him falling through the trap door etc) Anyone interested in seeing it? Awww SNAP!

You looked it up on the net, eh? Why don't you send the link to the networks. Or, download the video, put your own watermark on it, and then submit it to them. Then you could be famous. Unless something has changed in the past few hours, wasn't the video in the hands of the Iraqi government, which wasn't going to release it immediately?

I saw it and truly cannot believe they did this. I know he has done some nasty horrible things to many many people through out his life but death by hanging now days is just not humane. I guess any human killing another human isn't humane but if they were to do it they should have used a less graphic way such as the chair or injection. I also find it not that good that anyone, tv stations, even aired this. They are making him a sort of celebrity and bringing him more notoriety in doing so. **EDIT** I am in no way saying that I think he should still be living. I do feel death was the correct punishment for his wrong doings. **

Saw half of it on the evening news (not the falling part - but certainly the grainy view & angle were there). Didn't really want to see it. NB Iraqi gov released it to prove his death to the Iraqi people.

I saw it on Google Video ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7532034279766935521 ). It is very frightening. I also object to the method used. It seems barbaric to me. I'm not saying that he deserved good treatment. I'm saying that our modern world shouldn't resort to such terrible ways of execution (although I guess any execution is terrible in some sense).

I saw a leaked version shot with a video phone. It wasn't very clear but you could see what happend and Saddam falling through the trapdoor.

i tried. i found it but i couldnt watch. it was just too much for me.

I haven't seen it. Nor am I interested in seeing it. Funnily enough watching people die isn't one of my favorite pastimes. I'm weird like that...

I didn't see it. I would avoid it if offered. I am angry at my newspaper at showing pictures of him with the noose around his neck. I disagree with the death penalty. But even if I were to change my mind on that, I feel that it should be carried out as privately as observation of the legal requirements permits. I think taking pleasure in another's suffering, however vile they may be, is symptomatic of a cruel mind - the sort of mind which can cause more suffering and perpetuate exactly the sort of violent attitude of which Saddam was an extreme example. I am not saying that anybody who watched it is a psychopath, but a society in which nice people watch killing is a society in which nasty people do killing, whereas a society in which nice people avoid it is a society in which nasty people think twice or three times before killing.

I did not see it and I don't care to. I know that man commited many attrocities against many people but I don't think anyone deserves to be executed. Killing never solves anything. And anyone who would get "a kick" out of watching someone being executed or killed for any reason needs to take a long hard look at themselves and see exactly what their character is made of. Now I'm not condemning anyone for watching it. But if you enjoyed it at all perhaps you need to take a timeout and rethink your values in life.

I think that's an image I will not get out of my head for a very long time.

Nope, I don't want to see it either.
