Looks like he is dead:
Saddam Hussein executed in Iraq
State TV has been showing footage of Saddam Hussein's atrocities
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been executed by hanging at an unspecified location in Baghdad.
Iraqi TV said the execution took place just before 0600 local time (0300GMT).
Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by an Iraqi court on 5 November after a year-long trial over the 1982 killings of 148 Shias in the town of Dujail.
Two co-defendants, Saddam Hussein's half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former Iraqi chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar, were also executed.
US troops and Iraqi security forces are on high alert for any violent backlash. The US State Department has urged all its embassies to increase security.
The BBC's Adam Brookes in Washington says the Bush administration will see the act as turning a page in Iraq - a demonstration that Iraq has a sovereign and democratic government.
A US statement is expected. However, the Bush administration will be keen to portray the execution as a matter purely for the Iraqi government and its court system, our correspondent says.

Who could possibly benefit from a hoax about this? Many times things are not what they seem, but what great corporate profits will be realized if this was fake? If the answer is none, Saddam is dead.

Hello,
With Saddam having so many "doubles", are we really sure he is the one who was hanged from the gallows?
Let not your eyes be deceived, our government, let alone the Iraqi government, should not be trusted.
And our media, well, our media is owned lock, stock and barrel by our government. They have been since 1776.
Hope this helps you..................... : - O

no, he's gonna be on the tv's and in newspapers for a lonnnnnng time to come
this is rediculous, nobody should have to die like that
it's not our business to watch someone die or know every nasty detail
people's minds are so dumbed down now to think that it's ok to kill people and watch their deaths, just as long as someone else says it's ok
yay for the people

No, the Iraqis sent him off in a rocket to magic rock candy planet. Why else would the TV be reporting Saddam's death?
