Amateur Hour In Iraq (Part II)
This time they dropped the half-brother a wee bit too hard.
"Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the gallows were built to international standards and in accordance with human rights organizations."
Yah, dummy, but an experienced hangman knows how to calculate the proper rope length to prevent this kind of result. Maybe they should sub-contract these executions to professionals.
I haven't heard the usual whining from the Left yet - one of their heroes having done a pretty piss-poor rope dance. But I fully expect there are some long faces over at Air (anti-)America and the New York Times.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The official video of hanging of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants screened for reporters Monday showed the former leader's half brother lying headless below the gallows, his severed head several yards away. The video shows Barzan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, being hanged side by side.Well, let's see: they screwed up the Saddam execution by allowing Mookie-Loons in to taunt the bastard (my objection is related to the lack of professionalism, not to the fact that the last thing ringing his his ears was offensive to him). And they let somebody in with a camera phone.
