Well done Iraq
Made worse by the timing and the taunting,.
scored points with the shites but push the sunnis further away.
Until they learn to TRY to get along, there will be no peace in iraq.........too bad we're paying for it.
Still, you have to admit that the taunting certainly helped matters. It would have been too humane for them not to taunt him, though a more brutal and lengthy torture might have been preferable.
yeah maybe chase him around with a dull axe or get someone to , but keep him alive for about a month of torture till he begs to be killed. im so violent

When he was captured, he didn't try to shoot it out, or take some soldiers down with him. I think that, in itself, shows how cowardly he was.
I thought they were supposed to die while killing infidels.
Just my $0.02...

He went out with style! He refused the hood, he didn't reply to the taunts, just had his say and was gone! For that he will be remembered.............and not in a good way! Leaving out the fundamentalists, Iraq is torn between those who follwed him and those who hated him. The problem is that there's proly an even amount of each...........that means 1/2 the people will never be truly happy with their "government". This is what will make him a Martyr.
You don't have to die for a cause to be a martyr......you just have to have followers who believe you did!

I didn't bother to watch.
My hope was it would be clean and controversy free (what was I thinking! ) Just to be over with.

Well, originally they were going to hang him for all the weapons of mass destruction he was stock piling. But when they couldn't find any, they had to come up with a new reason to hang him.
