    by Gabriele Zamparini
    30 December 2006 will be remembered as a day of infamy.

    It’s been reported that after his execution the assassins shouted: “Long live Muqtada, Long live Muqtada” [Moqtada Al-Sadr]

    How the West armed Saddam, fed him intelligence on his ’enemies’, equipped him for atrocities - and then made sure he wouldn’t squeal
    by Robert Fisk
    We’ve shut him up. The moment Saddam’s hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington’s secrets were safe. The shameless, outrageous, covert military support which the United States - and Britain - gave to Saddam for more than a decade remains the one terrible story which our presidents and prime (…)

    The leaking of the videotape of hanging of Saddam and the dialogue that was exchanged between Saddam and his executioners, handpicked by Americans, and the subsequent planting of stories in mainstream media that Saddam’s hanging will be seen by Shia’s as a welcome sacrifice on one of the Holiest days of Islam was a deliberate act meant to create a backlash by Muslims and a Shia-Sunni conflict in the Muslim world.

    Saddam Faced Death with Dignity
    By Peter Fredson
    December 30, 2006
    One of the changing pretexts for invading Iraq is over. Saddam Hussein was hanged today. The show trial, arranged and orchestrated by the Bush people, carefully manipulated, carefully coached, is now history. Saddam was dignified to the end. We wonder if Bush and Cheney will face the gallows with equal equanimity, or if they will squeal like pigs when their end comes.
    The pretext that Saddam was evil and therefore had (…)

    Crimes against Iraqi people must not go unpunished
    BAGHDAD, IRAQ — (OfficialWire) — 12/30/06 — The rightful President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was put to death in the early hours on Saturday while lawyers for the ousted dictator tried in vain to use U.S. courts to prevent his transfer from American authority—to Iraqi control—thus hoping to prevent his murder.
    Those efforts, while admirable, were doomed from the start. There is little justice left for Americans in the United States, much (…)
