The website contained articles from a number of news sources (all of which display their full copyright information and URL of originating website), as well as the owner’s personal commentary on the matter.

Things took a rather stiff turn for the website as reports came in that the site was receiving a lot of traffic from locations in the Middle East. Violent emails followed and comments containing abusive language were left by a number of anonymous visitors. The website reported going through a DDOS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) and mentioned that the owner was receiving phone calls from unknown locations.

So, why all the hostility for simply helping to cover a current media event?

It seems that some of the comments made by the owner may have offended certain members of certain ‘ideals’. These comments were of a criticizing nature and were often accompanied by cartoons.

Since coming under fire for sharing news coupled with rather left-wing opinions, the website has undergone a complete ‘cleansing’ effort in order to remove all offending material. The owner has made assurances that the website will contain only information which has otherwise been previously published (on other news websites).

As it stands today, the website continues with the task of creating a non-biased archive of information relating to the hanging of Saddam Hussein. The long-term goal is for students or interested parties some fifty years from now to be able to view the website, and glean an understanding not just of Hussein and the Hanging, but of the way the whole legal system works in the United States during this era.

Here’s a few links to the Saddam Hussein Execution by Hanging Full Video on December 30, 2006 at around 6 A.M. in Baghdad, Iraq.

There are several places to view the video, so I’ve done my best to add them and embed them in this post:

Netscape has the Saddam Hussein Hanging video that they’ve posted:

According to Yahoo, this is what happens when the people are yelling…..

Guard: “You have destroyed us! You have killed us! You have made us live in destitution!”

Saddam: “I have saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Persian and Americans.”

Guard: “Goddamn you.”

Saddam: “Goddamn you.”

-Saddam, smileing, taunts the guards by saying “they were not showing manhood”-

Saddam: “I testify that there is no Ilah but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. I testify that there is no Ilah but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad-”

-The floor drops when Saddam is mid way through the his second recitation of the Muslim prayer “Shahada”-

Guard: “The tyrant has fallen!”

Different Guard: “Let him swing for three minutes.”

LiveLeak also has the Saddam Hussein Hanging Video posted here:
