Pictures to cherish the memories

The news is that someone took a picture of Saddam Hussein being executed and a lot of people are upset. Not that we executed a man, but that some one actually took pictures. That brings up interesting questions. Was there some secret about killing this man that the puppet government there didn’t want known? Were people afraid that kids would use bootleg copies as “snuff” films for their parties? What’s the big secret? President George Bush with the help of his Iraqi puppets has shown the world that he kills leaders he doesn’t like. He has no problems seeing some one put to death. He’s killed enough of his own citizens to make it clear he will kill those of other countries who get in his way. So why fuss about some good ol’ pictures to capture the moment?

Saddam execution video draws criticism

ANITA CHANG

Associated Press Wed, Jan. 03, 2007

Grainy cell phone video of Saddam Hussein's execution triggered international criticism Tuesday, with Britain's deputy prime minister calling the leaked images "unacceptable" and the Vatican decrying the footage as a "spectacle" violating human rights.

Meanwhile, the Italian government pushed for a U.N. moratorium on the death penalty, Cuba called the execution "an illegal act," and Sunnis in Iraq took to the streets in mainly peaceful demonstrations across the country.

The unofficial video showed a scene that stopped just short of pandemonium, during which one person is heard shouting "To hell!" at the deposed president and Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners. The inflammatory footage also showed Saddam plummeting through the gallows trapdoor and dangling in death.
