Interesting that they should pick this very day to hang him.


I wonder if it was on purpose?

Because of Eid al Ahda, or the New Year?

The full video is on Google Video. I won't post a link, those who want it can find it. Of course, NSFW or Children.

The video of that thing is going to be very damaging to our cause of Iraqi unification. Some of the hangmen were invoking Al Sadr's name, a Shia cleric. Why can't the Iraqi government find hangmen who know how to STFU?

Very well put. Notice too that they all wore ski masks like most of them do over there!

Hell, you do not ever know who the good and bad guys are.

The bad thing in the middle east is that no one ever gets along.

Relegion is the most important thing in their life.

His appeal was overturned on December 25th. After that they had 30 days to carry out the death sentence but apparently wanted to do it before Eid.
If I was the praying sort, I would be joining you. A close friend of mine just returned from Iraq and showed me his pictures and videos. Those hit closer to home than anything.
The worst one was the pictures of an insurgent car bomb aftermath. The insurgent took a marine's life-a marine 15 minutes away from leaving Fallujah and going back home.
Sickening.

Tom, who is the they that wear ski masks exactly? Are you referring to the general population or the insurgents?
The bad thing about the middle east is that the western world caused this strife and continues to antagonize it, all in the name of self-interest.
Religion is very important, hence the theocracies in place in that region. However, do not judge a majority based upon a vocal minority. Surely you could have realized that merely as an American (yes I'm referring to the nutbag fundamentalist christians, I just wanted to be blatant enough for you.)

I watched the video twice. I have no soul.
