Nice high scaffold, long drop - a quick ending...
NBC: Saddam to be hanged by Sunday - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.comOr do you think he'll be dropped about a foot and left to dangle, choking out his last few minutes?Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, sentenced to death for his role in 148 killings in 1982, will have his sentence carried out by Sunday, NBC News reported Thursday. According to a U.S. military officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, Saddam will be hanged before the start of the Eid religious holiday, which begins at sundown Saturday.
Hard to tell which I'd rather have happen...

"If you're going to kill a man, it cost nothing to be polite about it."
In this case we have a golden opportunity to be both just and merciful.
My vote; High gallows, long rope. Its quick, neat, clean, and has the craftsmanly aspect of a difficult job done right.

My idea of mercy in regards to saddam, is cremating him with pork, and dropping his remains in an unmarked septic tank.
But hanging works.

Looks like it was a quick snap. Oh, well. He's gone, at long last.
