Saddam Hussein’s rhetoric is not only powerful against his people but is ... powerful against those who rejects his ideas.

Saddam Hussein was hanged on December 30, 2006 at 06:07 local time (03:07 GMT time). The execution took place at the secure facility Camp Justice northeast of Baghdad, a security base once used by Saddam. CNN reported that celebrations broke out at the execution location after Saddam was dead, and that people were "dancing around the body". Contrary to initial reports, Saddam was executed alone, and not at the same time as his co-defendants Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, who will be executed after the Eid ul-Adha holiday.
