Corinthian,
I don't think you can read that much into it. There always seems to be a story that the U.S. media is pre-occupied with. When he was found guilty they told him that it was going to be a quick process - no long drawn out appeals like here in the States (no comfy cell with cable t.v. and a lifetime membership to the Playboy channel while you wait a million years for people to get their shit together). Islamic law works differently then the West. Plus, you can't give advance warning for something like this. If you did you would have every Baghdad cowboy out there trying to make a last stand/statememt before the execution.

Look what happened to Dan Rather for reporting about Dubya's National Guard non-service.

Good question.

The people who planned Saddam's hanging are the same Americans who orchestrated 9-11 (the "americans") and placed explosives inside the trade centers and building #7 which caused them to fall. The hanging itself is yet another link to why Saddam was hanged, why we invaded and still occupy Iraq, why we invaded Afghanistan, and why the people who had him hanged (those who caused 9-11) orchestrated 9-11 in the first place.

I do believe that Saddam knew certain things about our government that American citizens would like to know - maybe this was a reason to expedite his hanging. Maybe the "americans" used Saddam the way the "americans" are now using Osama. Osama Bin Laden obviously knows insider information on 9-11 because he worked with the Americans to make it happen. Will the "americans" allow Osama to live, or kill him like they did Saddam, to ensure that he doesn't some day reveal the truth of 9-11?

Recently Bush was asked where Osama Bin Laden was, who Bush blames for 9-11. Bush said that he "doesn't know and really think about it that much". Yet Bush managed to destroy Iraq and hang Saddam for killing Iraqis nearly a quarter century ago and claims this to be a response to 9-11. Everything associated with 9-11 is a manipulation, including the hanging of Saddam.

How many Iraqis did Sadam kill 25 years ago?

How many Americans, Afghanis and Iraqis did Bush kill in the past 5 years?

Was the killing of Saddam Hussein rushed to take advantage of the fact that news and paper media would be focusing their
attention to the Funeral of Gerald Ford and James Brown?

No. It was done in such a way as to not get a three ring media circus going. Potentually saving lives.



Did the US adminstration use their power to have him killed, despite that he may have had some legal challenges?


In Iraq. BS and foot dragging just doesn't work like it does in the States. Saddams lawyers had a last minute appeal to the Bush Administration. They just didn't get in the way of Iraqi justice.

Will the media ignore the rush to his execution, as they did the rush to war?


They caught him Three years ago? Because of his support of Terrorism and ego how many do you think have been killed? What do you think was going to happen? They would find him innocent by some technicality and let him go? Or maybe they would convict Bush instead and we would have no choice but to send Bush over there to be executed?

No...they did it so you can read your koran and pray for mercy on 72 virgins

It was planned, to be carried out on the first day of the Eid, for a reason.
