Yes he was and it was definitely the usual kind of hanging - rope and all.

He was hung by the same thing he created years ago. He was hung in the same place that his "secrect police" use to hang innocent people. So what do you think was going through his head. No I personally don't think death is the way to do it. Giving him a life sentence would make it worse for him. BUT if they didn't kill him..then there would have been hell until someone broke him lose. What goes around comes around. Karma is a *****. there is a video released that shows the whole hanging. From start to finish that some took witha cellphone video. I seen it. It's pretty intense.

Yes, CNN has a video on their website from the al-Arabiya network. They shot a video that shows Saddam being brought up to the gallows, where hooded men explain exactly what's going to happen to him with hand gestures, then put him in place, and finally slip the noose around his neck. At that point, the video freezes and stops. Unfortunately, there's no audio. I heard a rumor that FOXnews is going to play a full version including a close-up of Saddam's dead body on New Years..

Yeah, he's a goner. They are literally going to put a rope over his head, and they are literally going to tighten it up and they are literally going to pull whatever is under him, holding him up, out from under him.
Listen, whether you believe in capitol punishment or not, this man is a monster. I've personally read case files, actual documents that are not forged and are not fakes: this man would rape women in front of their families. They'd take men who "disobeyed" him and dip them feet first into boiling plastic, so that they could suffer through the death, and then he'd make their families watch the torture.
He, is in a sense worse than Hitler. Hitler was disgusting and a little too umm..."career oriented". He was a mass murderer and he was evil. Hussein is worse. Because in our day and age, we know better. He wanted to kill all those who thought differently than he did, and he wanted to exterminate not only his own people, but the rest of us as well.
In my opinion, if he wasn't taken down, well...eventually (and we still may as long as Osama and North Korea's boys are still out there) we'd be facing another world war.

He was hung, yes, by a rope. I saw the video on CNN where they were putting the rope around his neck and then when he was dead, although they didn't actually show him hanging there, the video cut out for decency. We are 100% he was hung, yes. No injection or anything.

Ya. I never bothered to check it out. I don't believe in execution, but I have lived in cultures that do. It is a challenge to live with others who have such different views. But who am I to judge. I mean, I believe that it is wrong, but my job is not to act in a harmful way to others. And there are many ways that others have that I find offensive. Come to think of it, I'm no picnic to live with either. Ya, you have probably heard that before.

Yes he was hung 3 am GMT time.
He was hung using a rope which he used to hang other people with and in a room where he hung people in too.

Yep... Rope, three foot drop to snap the neck (Three foot drop max so the rope wont rip the head off), kicking feet, soiled pants and all!
Just like in the wild wild west.
