Well they did it at 2pm Melbourne time - 60 minutes ago.
The verdict and sentence were imminent from the time he was captured. It was orchestrated by the US despite having Iraqi judges. Nothing was ever going to change Sadam's fate.

In one way the whole thing is sickening, but he was responsible for ordering the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people. When will someone invade and occupy America and put Bush on trial for crimes against humanity for the tens of thousands of civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan on his orders? Try telling the dead that it was all in the name of democracy.

It will be interesting to see what happens on the ground in Iraq but I can't see things getting better for the Iraqi people. The insurgents have a 'blood for blood' revenge mentality and with this ingrained in their psyche the situation will most likely get worse.

EDIT - The video will be used to serve as proof to the world that he is in fact dead.

I just hope the Bush admin doesnt get ahead of themselves on this one and start glorifying the whole situation. I believe that Saddamn got what he deserved, but mature minds should prevail in this situation and the media should treat him with respect and keep the video out of public eye.

I'm too lazy to look up the source, but one of the news sites talked to someone and said that it was filmed. Not for live tv broadcast, but I'll say it will be online within the next 24 hours.

I have a feeling he was sitting next to daddy Bush with a big blanket and a bowl of pretzels watching CNN.

I believe that when Sadam came to power he televised a parliamentary meeting where those who opposed the Baath Party were removed from the room and executed.

Yep it was filmed and if I am not mistaken three TV stations have already broadcasted the execution.

On CNN.COM you can watch a video about Hussein being prepared with the noose. There are three other videos dealing with his execution.
We're not in this alone.
