Yes I found it. How would I know what to expect, I'd never watched a hanging before? I noticed the jerky quality and the time looking at the stair steps, but this was clearly an amateur video by a witness, not an official or news-company product.
As for the hanging itself, it was about what I expected; quick and professional.
I was struck by the shouting witnesses, but I couldn't understand them. As much as I was pleased that Saddam had finally gotten some justice, at first I thought the shouting was a little distasteful. But then considering how some of these witnesses had suffered from Saddam's actions, I decided they were entitled to shout.

I saw it.I expected a better quality video, but, it was a amateur video,taken on a cell phone,so no regrets.In this day and age criminals get treated like everyone else. What the **** ever happened to, an eye for an eye? He was a tyrant. A evil man. Some **** gets 20 to life for selling cocaine, and gets *** raped everyday in prison, but a man like Saddam, would get 15-30 years, and possibly let out after around 7, on good behavoir. So you tell me whose a menace to society. The man tortured,raped, and killed the human kind, and so for that he deserves to live?
Uh, uh. Not in this day would I hope, someone give the grace of God to someone likes this. True as it may be, God is the one who judges all, but the dude has caused so many lives, isn't it only just he dies?
I feel the liberals have no say so on this. Sure its okay to kill babies and innocent people, but we can't kill killers?
Forget that, man.
I hope that the depiction in South Park is real,but reversed. I hope he is Satan's *****.

In this day and age I would have expected a better video. You would have to be extremely squeamish not to be able to sit through this thing. I've seen much more violent footage on network TV dramas like Law & Order.
Did he deserve it imo? No, I would have preferred that he had done hard time with no chance of parole.

I searched for it and watched it. It was not a very good quality of video, and there were a lot of flashes from people taking pictures.... So I don't know why a better video wasn't made...

Poor quality video and very jerky. I would've liked subtitles. All in all, a disappointment. I give it 2 stars out of 5.

I didn't want to see it was that someone gave the link by accident and could not wait to get off the link.

Wow, some of these answers are pathetic.
"I didn't really want to see it"....
"he should have got life in prison"
"I think it's wrong to watch"
What a bunch of pacifist pansies !!!!
I saw it, and although jerky and low quality, I got to see him die.
I'm glad he's dead, makes me feel all warm and happy inside.

I am not even aware that there was footage made available of the hanging.
