The last thoughts of Saddam....."Right now I have this strange feeling of anxiety. It's like I'm sitting in the electric chair waiting for them to throw the switch. I can't pinpoint what or why or how but something is bugging the **** out of me. The only other time I've even felt close to this was over 13 years ago. It's almost a state of panic. It's a total feeling of being helpless. A total complete removal of all hope. I imagine this is how a martyr feels right before he or she takes their own life for what the feel is right. It's been a long time since I've felt this way. I've always been able in the past to know what was bugging me. I've been able to take myself apart and see what the problem was. Never have I been completely blinded like this. It's almost as though all my fears have rolled up into one. It's so hard to figure out the problem because anything that does bug me can be classified under this new feeling. There is bad acid reflux and clumps of hair. Uncontrollable shaking, problems with thought control. I'm unable to focus. I've always been in control of my emotions. I've been able to make myself be happy or sad. Always been able to calm down from anything by just taking a step back and talking to myself. I can't accomplish that this time. It's like I've lost control. I can only wonder if I have come to the end of my rope. Have I lost my mind?"

And now to prove my innocence! If am strangled to death by this rope, then this will prove once and for all that I have been innocent all along and I am still the legitimate president of Iraq.

From The Guardian, UK news outlet:
In what may prove to be the final message from Saddam Hussein before his execution, the ousted dictator urged Iraqis to unite against the US and Iran and portrayed himself as a potential martyr.
"The enemies of your country, the invaders and the Persians, have found your unity a barrier between you and those who are now ruling you. Therefore, they drove their hated wedge among you," he said in a handwritten letter released by his lawyer yesterday.
"O faithful people, I bid you farewell as my soul goes to God the compassionate," he wrote. "Long live Iraq. Long live Iraq. Long live Palestine. Long live jihad and the mujahideen. God is greatest."
On Tuesday, Iraq's highest court turned down Saddam's appeal against a death sentence in connection with a mass killing of Shia Muslims in 1982. Following the unsuccessful appeal, Iraqi law requires his hanging within 30 days.
It is understood that Saddam wrote the letter after being sentenced in November but its release was delayed until after his appeal by the US authorities.
In the letter, Saddam depicts himself as a potential martyr: "Here I offer myself in sacrifice. If God almighty wishes, it [my soul] will take me where he orders to be with the martyrs. If my soul goes down this path [of martyrdom] it will face God in serenity ...
"You have known your brother and leader as you have known your own family. He has not bowed down to the tyrants and remained a sword against them," Saddam wrote. "Oh great people, I call on you preserve the values that enabled you to be worthy of carrying out shouldering the faith and to be the light of civilisation. Your unity stands against falling into servitude."
He added: "Oh brave, pious Iraqis in the heroic resistance. Oh sons of the one nation, direct your enmity towards the invaders. Do not let them divide you ... Long live jihad [holy war] and the mujahideen against the invaders."
Saddam said he was writing the letter because his lawyers had told him that the court would give him an opportunity to say a final word. "But that court and its chief judge did not give us the chance to say a word, and issued its verdict without explanation and read out the sentence - dictated by the invaders - without presenting the evidence," he wrote.

We can only speculate. My guess would be: "Uh oh, they're really serious about this hanging business."
