Baghdad,Iraq.. Saddam Hussein struggled briefly after american military guards handed him over to iraqi executioners before dawn Saturday.But as his final moments approaches 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 infliciting 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 convisction and execution before sunrise said he was shown the body because "Everybody wanted to make sure that he was really exected". "NOW,HE IS IN THE GARBAGE OF HISTORY"
