Saddam 's Body Twitched, Died Instantly

He started off struggling when being transferred then went defiantly, masking the fear of all cowardly psychopaths. Not a martyr, but a mass murderer, the Butcher of Baghdad will no longer strike fear into the hearts of the Iraqis.

Ali Al Massedy was 3 feet away from Saddam Hussein when he died. The 38 year old, normally Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's official videographer, was the man responsible for filming the late dictator's execution at dawn on Saturday. "I saw fear, he was afraid," Ali told NEWSWEEK minutes after returning from the execution. Wearing a rumpled green suit and holding a Sony HDTV video camera in his right hand, Ali recalled the dictator's last moments. "He was saying things about injustice, about resistance, about how these guys are terrorists," he says. On the way to the gallows, according to Ali, "Saddam said, ‘Iraq without me is nothing.’"

Ali says he followed Saddam up the gallows steps, escorted by two guards. He stood over the hole and filmed from close quarters as Saddam dropped through—from "me to you," he said, crouching down to show how he shot the scene. The distance, he said, was "about one meter," he said. "He died absolutely, he died instantly." Ali said Saddam's body twitched, "shaking, very shaking," but "no blood," he said, and "no spit."

MSNBC and Michelle Malkin's Hot Air has the video of Saddam Hussein's last moments. Hugh Hewitt's guest post from Josh Trevino and the Gateway Pundit has the Liberal leftists loosening their hinges at the thought of justice, the democratic way. Do these Kos-metically dysfunctional people really understand what they are saying?

Poliblogger reports that Bomb Explodes At Madrid Airport. Retaliation from Al-Qaeda for Saddam's execution?

Tel-Chai Nation has a great post on those who rejoice and those who condemn the Iraqi decision.

Power Line has the last words of Saddam. It's eerily the same rhetoric that liberals use: George Bush is a butcher.
