The Butcher Of Bagdad Has Been Executed

An American soldier ties a rope around a statue of Saddam Hussein shortly after the fall of Baghdad in April 2003 (Peter Nicholls)

 From see-dubya :

Word just in from al-Arabiya that Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti is dead.  Al-Hurra is reporting it too. Al-Hurra’s the American-backed Arab station, FYI, so their sources here are probably trustworthy. HuffPo “celebrates.”  Al-Arabiya (via Fox) says  photographers and cameramen were on the scene.

Iraqi-Americans cheer reports of Saddam’s execution

The AP Has this:

Najeeb al-Nueimi, a member of Saddam’s legal team in Doha, Qatar, said he too requested a final meeting with the deposed Iraqi leader. “His daughter in Amman was crying, she said, ‘Take me with you,’” al-Nueimi said late Friday. But he said their request was rejected.

Also to be hanged were Saddam’s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.

    Saddam Hussein Executed

    The life of Saddam Hussein ended today the way he ended the lives of so many others. He was executed shortly before sunrise in Baghdad.
