Saddam Hussien, the "butcher of Bagdad", hanged.

The BBC (British Broadcasting Corp.) first reported Saddam's hanging ... and now all the other US newsmedia are reporting on his hanging. It sounds like Saddam is gone, taking with him all of his cruelty and inhumanity to man (and woman and child). His hanging followed a last ditch effort to appeal his conviction and sentence to the U. S. Court in Washington D. C., which summarily dismissed the petition. As a non U. S. citizen, resident of the United States or someone with the minimal contacts in this country, one wonders why anyone would have thought U. S. Courts will have jurisdiction to entertain Saddam's case.

Update: (Warning: May be graphic). Video of Sadaam being led to the gallows, plus other stories -- including that of an old man dying alone.
