And I really don't want to hear another peep from the Saddam supporters.

Freepers or otherwise.

What!?! He really did that to his victims?

I'm not doubting that it is possible, but it is the first I've heard of it. How terrible.

You should send this to Katie Couric..

[He Rides A White Horse]

Why does Saddam Hussein deserve to die?

The supporters you refer to (who are out of their minds, obviously) have no concept of justice.

There is a difference between justice and injustice (of course); it would be an injustice to not carry out the sentence that he himself worked so hard to deserve.

[He Rides A White Horse]

He planted the seeds of his own destruction, he sowed them, he watered them, and now it's time to reap the harvest.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Yikes. The stuff of nightmares...

[mosquewatch.com]

I just recently came home from work and heard the GOOD NEWS.

And I really don't want to hear another peep from the Saddam supporters.

Indeed.

[cripplecreek]

Funny how liberals scream about American interference in Iraq and elsewhere but want to interfere in Saddam's punishment.

[kinoxi]

That would be the plastic shredder he had people put into feet first. Hanging is way too pleasant for this vermin.

[bilhosty]

He really deserves everything he has coming to him. On the other hand. I cant stop thinking about what it would be like ha we not stopped him in 1991 and allowed him to take Saudi Arabia and shred all of those stinking Wahabi's. we would have a better world today.

In the leadup to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, there were a large number of reports of an infamous plastic shredder into which Saddam and Qusay Hussein fed opponents of their Baathist rule.

The first mention of the woodchipper came at a March 12 2003 meeting, when James Mahon addressed the House of Commons after returning from research in northern Iraq.

Ann Clwyd wrote in The Times six days later, an article entitled "See men shredded, then say you don't back war," saying that an unnamed Iraqi had said the Husseins (sic) used a woodchipper to gruesomely kill male opponents, and used their shredded bodies as fish food. Later she would add that it was believed to be housed in Abu Ghraib prison. Two days later Australian Prime Minister John Howard made reference to the "human-shredding machine".

Melanie Phillips wrote in The Daily Mail, saying that the machine resulted in "bodies...chewed up from foot to head". In William Shawcross's 2003 book , he claimed that Saddam Hussein "fed people into huge shredders, feet first to prolong the agony".

In 2003, Ken Joseph claimed to have been one of the anti-war Human Shields that had traveled to Iraq, but said that he returned disgusted by tales of slow torture like the plastic shredder, and became an advocate of the war instead. However, it was quickly asserted by the groups that organised the shield action that they had never heard of him, and that it was possible he had never even been to the country.

The Sun's political editor Trevor Kavanagh wrote in February 2004 that "Public opinion swung behind Tony Blair as voters learned how Saddam fed dissidents feet first into industrial shredders"

In 2004, in The Guardian, Brendan O'Neill openly questioned the existence of the woodchipper, asking for Clwyd and Mahon to provide evidence or the names of the Iraqis who gave them the story. He spoke with the doctor who dealt with executed prisoners at Abu Grahib during Saddam Hussein's rule, who said that all executions were performed by hanging, and denied claims that there was a shredder of any type. Clwyd responded to O'Neill’s allegations in a letter published in the Guardian stating that “Brendan O'Neill was told by my office, but chose not to include in his article, the following information. In his statement, the witness who said that people were killed by the shredder was very specific: he named individuals who he said were killed in the shredder and the individuals who he said supervised the execution by shredder; he stated where the shredder was located and the month and year when the executions took place. The witness was closely questioned by Indict researchers and was described by them as being "unshakeable". He said he is also prepared to testify in court about the incident.”[1]. O'Neill never responded to Clwyd’s letter or the offer of more corroboration.

I can't bring myself to watch your link...

..But I have no problem with justice being served...and high time too!

He is an evil man.

[RightOnline]

Although I couldn't get the video to load, your point is well made, friend. Saddam's creativity in his loathsome cruelty is beyond belief. His sons were as bad or worse; it's said that Uday would personally (and gleefully) watch his 'victims' go through these shredders.

Imagine just how sick......how inhuman.....one must be...............

[lonestar67]

Yeah but imagine having panties put on your head.

that would be far worse /sarc

[Howlin]

Are there Freepers supporting Saddam????

[SoldierDad]

I'd like to go on record as supporting Saddam - and when my muscles finally fail and I have to let him go, he'll drop through that square hole until he reaches the end of that rope and his neck snaps.

Here is how Saddam dealt with some people. They would tape explosives directly to the person. The video is from far away so this is not gory.

[jveritas]

As many a million Iraqis were killed by Saddam, and many were imprisoned and tortured in the most horrible ways that the evil side of our human nature can come up with. Today we are going to see the death of one of the worst brutal dictator terrorist in history of man kind.

Without the leadership of President Bush and the bravery of our troops Saddam horrible death machine would be now killing and torturing hundreds of thousands of more Iraqis.

God bless our troops. God President Bush. God bless America.
