I was browsing the net few hours ago and I happened to read the news about the unofficial footage of Saddam's execution. I shared it to my colleauges and one of them saw it on CNN news. I just saw partial of it. I am afraid to see the whole footage. Is it right to air the footage and will you watch it?

His face was shown. I saw it when he went up and when they put the rope around his neck. I didn't dare to watch the whole video. Thanks!

According to the news, it was captured by a camera phone and someone is trying to stop that person from taking the video. Thanks!

i watched the whole footage. it's not bad at all...it shows him in the noose, then you see him drop and the rope straighten out, but you dont see his neck snap or anything. After that it shows a close up of his face (no blood or anything) while he's still in the noose. So you dont see his head snap or him struggle or anything too graphic i believe...and the whole time he was about to be hanged he was being taunted by all the ppl around him

I am aware that he was being taunted by people around him. And the footage was captured by a mobile phone. I was afraid of how he look after the execution. I am afraid I might see it in my dreams. The thing is, is it really humanistic to televised it?

I personally will not watch the footage. I could care less who is being executed, I don't want to see someone die. I know the nightmares that would cause in my head, and being pregnant... my dreams are weird enough.

I haven't watched the unofficial footage actually but I know as some of you said that it wasn't so impressive.
Anyway I know the person who shooted the video through the camera phone has been arrested.

No I would not. It will not give me any pleasure seeing Saddam dying then why take the risk of haunting memories later.
