An Iraqi official says the person suspected to have secretly recorded video of Saddam Hussein's execution on a mobile phone camera has been arrested. Bush administration officials say the United States raised concerns about the manner of the execution.
An adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the government is leading an investigation into the abusive acts at Saddam's execution.
Mobile phone footage---widely distributed on the Internet---documents witnesses taunting Saddam Hussein moments before he was hanged.
Sunni Arabs in Iraq have staged demonstrations at the conduct of Saddam's execution, saying it was an act of pure vengeance by the Shiite-led government.
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad had expressed its concerns over the handling of Saddam's execution. But he emphasized that Saddam Hussein was executed after a long trial that met international standards. "There seems to be a lot of concern about the last two minutes of Saddam Hussein's life and less about the first 69 [years] in which he murdered hundreds of thousands of people."
Yes, I completely agree with the White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. He is right 100%: Saddam Hussein murdered hundreds of thousands of people earlier so why would, all of a sudden, Bush Administration and the government of Iraq care about those abusive acts of execution? What is it a pity for the murderer? Or, maybe, they thought that he was a human being after all? Excuse me, someone who committed several crimes over the years like Saddam Hussein did --was NOT a human being; he WAS an animal. If he was a human being, he would not have done anything closer to what he did. God gave him life to live it fully, enjoy, accomplish many things and live it the right way, but he ruined it and ruined himself. And what he had accomplished... absolutely nothing! He had to pay the price by facing the trial and execution. This was the right thing to do. We cannot feel pity for someone like Saddam and discuss methods that were taken during the execution.
