Saddam's Former Deputy Hanged in Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Saddam Hussein's former deputy was hanged before dawn Tuesday for the killings of 148 Shiites, an official with the prime minister's office said.
Taha Yassin Ramadan, who was Saddam's vice president when the regime was ousted four years ago, was the fourth man to be executed in the killings of 148 Shiites following a 1982 assassination attempt against the former leader in the city of Dujail.
The official, who witnessed the hanging but spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made, said precautions had been taken to prevent a repeat of what happened to Saddam's half brother Barzan Ibrahim, who was decapitated on the gallows.

Baghdad Bob works for the DNC now.
Speaking of hanging, all Democrats in Congress are good candidates for death by hanging once they are tried and convicted of treason.
Baghdad Bob tried to turn himself in to american forces shortly after the invasion, but the americans told him to get lost.
Apparently he feared for his own life from Iraqi's. He had let his hair go grey and bald and looked totally different, and was living with his aunt.
Aziz is the one who was rumored on pretty good athority to be our inside man in Baghdad. LAst I heard he was teaching somewhere, but then his cover was blown. Haven't heard more about him. He was probably relocated.
I wonder why executions take place at dawn - or the middle of the night.
Thanks to President Bush and our troops, without whom Saddam and some of his henchmen would still be murdering innocent people instead of pushing up flowers.
Tough compost.
OH, Aziz is awaiting trial....I must have got him mixed up with someone else.
AMEN!
And thank you for posting that truth that many (most??) on this forum seem to have forgotten.
Sometimes I cannot believe that this is Free Republic. Some on this forum hate President Bush as much as any left wing lunatic. They are cowards and defeatists, when the going gets tough, the cowards surrender.
Thrill me, kill me
Take my bloody hand of evil deeds and vices
Walk me down the darkened hall to make a final call
To order forty-seven virgins for my lap
Kiss me, dis me
I won't care if you don't miss me, miss me
Close to Saddam I'll sprawl where hungry earthworms crawl
Still un-repentant in my glorious dirt nap

LOL!
Thanks to you and Roger Miller, I've had my laugh for the day!
That is odd.
I thought he was working for the MSM all along during the Saddam v. USA war.
Bob is on the Blue Collar Comedy tour...
He has been given immunity to prosecution only if he keeps us in stitches...
Once nobody laughs anymore, it'll be all over for Bob...
:-)
"They hanged him on the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. This is symbolic - a reminder of who is in charge."
You're right - I missed that.
A few pictures of the creep are in order too!
