[liberal N proud]

I am in Tampa this week, the local NBC channel 8 showed video of Saddam at the gallows.

SICK!

4. It's being shown everywhere.

[dysfunctional press]

5. why is that "sick"...?

after all- it's not like they showed him afterwards- dangling from a rope with a hard-on and a load of crap in his pants.

although- i'd be willing to bet that the video of the actual hanging WILL be ALL OVER the internet before too long- especially since he refused a hood.

7. Why is it not sick?

Showing someone who is about to be executed is not something that should be on display. These are not things that civilized societies should be doing.

9. the execution itself is the uncivilized part-

why shouldn't they show someone who is about to be executed...? a lot of people would like to be certain that the right person gets what they have coming(according to their laws).

i can kind of understand them not showing the actual act of execution- however, even here in the u.s. of a., public hangings used to be VERY big business, and something that sometimes reached the level of a carnival...we don't have a lot of room to preach to other countries about the way they conduct theirs.

6. Help Me Understand

Saddam Hussein executed for gassing some hundreds of Kurds.

Bush kills 3,000 US troops (maimed some 20,000 or so) and probably some 600,000 Iraqis.

Is there a disconnect here?

The implications are obvious to me.
