Saddam Hussein to be hanged within the hour, reports cable news on Friday evening at 8PM CST. The BBC reports rumors of a gallows having been built in the Green Zone, let’s hope that is not true. Hanging Saddam in a US-military controlled area would be pointlessly counterproductive.
UPDATE: US-backed Iraqi TV is reporting that Hussein has been executed, as well as al-Arabiya, reports starting at 9:05 CST. 2,996 US soldiers have now died for this dubious achievement.
