Lynching... mullahs' style

There is perhaps no other word more suitable for the fate Saddam Hussein suffered in the hands of the henchmen on that fateful day in Iraq- lynching. Even the appeasement machine that is the Financial Times, January 2, 2007, in an editorial, called it "An indecent end...". The Wall Street Journal similarly referred to it as lynching.

Make no mistake; the henchmen who carried out his execution were none other than the agents of the Iranian mullahs and hence well versed in the art of excution and torture. There are now reports that these people were directly shuttled to the execution chamber from the office of Hakim. Many Iranian dissidents were taken to their death in very much similar manner by the mullahs executioners.

It should therefore come as no surprise that he was executed in the manner he was. In the language of terror and torture that the mullahs speak, there is no "dignified way" to execute a person, to borrow a phrase from George Bush.
