He was hung. I'm not sure exactly when. I think it was around midnight. I watched CNN untill almost two. But they were repeating the same stuff and was awaiting the first pics of the hanging. I got tired of waiting tho. I know he refused to wear the black cloth over his face. And someone said he died quickly. "In the blink of an eye" as they phrased it. His two brothers were supposed to be hung with him but they postponed their hanging for another day. The iraqies wanted December 30, 2006 to be remembered especially just for the hanging of Saddam. It also mentioned that his funeral would be quick, possible within the next few hours. I'm not sure if they did yet or not.

He has been executed this morning (according to my time).
Just read this report for more exact information:
'Saddam Hussein struggled briefly after American military guards handed him over to Iraqi executioners before dawn Saturday. But as his final moments approached and masked executioners slipped a black cloth and noose around his neck, he grew calm.
In a final moment of defiance, he refused a hood to cover his eyes.
Hours after Saddam faced the same fate he was accused of inflicting on countless thousands during a quarter-century of ruthless power, Iraqi state television showed grainy video of what it said was his body, the head uncovered and the neck twisted at a sharp angle.
A man whose testimony helped lead to Saddam's conviction and execution before sunrise said he was shown the body because "everybody wanted to make sure that he was really executed."
"Now, he is in the garbage of history," said Jawad Abdul-Aziz, who lost his father, three brothers and 22 cousins in the reprisal killings that followed a botched 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam in the Shiite town of Dujail.
The post-execution footage showed the man identified as Saddam lying on a stretcher, covered in a white shroud. His neck and part of the shroud have what appear to be bloodstains. His eyes are closed.
In Baghdad's Shiite enclave of Sadr City, hundreds of people danced in the streets while others fired guns in the air to celebrate. The government did not impose a round-the-clock curfew as it did last month when Saddam was convicted to thwart any surge in retaliatory violence.'

He was hung last night in an undisclosed location. A lot of people think the area was kept secret to avoid an escape attempted aided by other Iraqis.

Yesterday morning. He was turned over to the Iraqis. They executed him by hanging, along with two other high up people in his regime.
