Will the cameras be rolling? I imagine there are a lot of people who want to witness this.

It's more about trying to keep a good taste in diction when talking about someone that was executed and now is dead (no matter who he/she was).
Of course Saddam's reign as one of greatest dictators of modern times wasn't exactly a stable solution to these non-US created internal ethnic and religious divisions either. Wasn't it actually the British that forcibily united Iraq through occupation and redrawn borders after WWI ? It is not hard to imagine a scenario of overwhelming US force in which the insurgent violence was nipped early and bloodshed largely avoided...but at any rate, in the end eventually the Iraqi people were going to be forced to take a greater measure of responsiblity for their future upon themselves.Problem solved, cross removed before it goes any further.
On Saddam. It isn't going to solve any problems out there. Nobody really cared enough about him to either stop what they are doing or to start some other violence, His removal caused a stable country in the middle east to become a virtual state of anarchy. You might not have liked his methods, but the country wasn't in the state of chaos it is in now.
Since it was posted before the execution, your reasoning is not justified.
Since you're not American, you wouldn't know the terms used are common in American lexicon.
Saying someone is going to meet the hangman about somebody that is going to get hanged doesnt seem so proper 2 me.
I went to an American high school and Uni so I am pretty familiar with the majority of terms and nuances and it still didn't right to me.
I know the British are also responsible for a lot of the mess in the Middle East due to redrawn borders and new countries being created.Of course Saddam's reign as one of greatest dictators of modern times wasn't exactly a stable solution to these non-US created internal ethnic and religious divisions either. Wasn't it actually the British that forcibily united Iraq through occupation and redrawn borders after WWI ?
I agree. For something there's never been a row about before you need a better justification than personal preference. For pete's sake, there are tons of childrens games with "Hangman" in the title -- Meet the Hangman could literally be one of them in fact.Then you're overly sensitive.

That kind of thinking leads to executing someone 1 day before new year and so shortly after christmas....and by hanging.... ***,
That's just f***ing macabre
I though the whole deal in Iraq was done to bring some values and democracy...this is a great way of showing progress,,, it's just sickening to see stuff like this happen. Funny, there were 2 threads about this and you were the only one with a referall to hangman...the context you put it in made it sound so displesant. Remember this is an international audience, you are not just talking to americans here. Some people, like me, may have gotten the wrong image or idea or sensation so I just tried to make it a bit more sensible since we are talking about someone loosing his life, lets remember that.
Again,,,this is a global audience, some people may be put off by the context.
Is funny you guys are so chilled about an executions, just like going shopping or smth,,, i guess is just a matter of getting used 2 it, eh ?
The term itself is technically neutral and could as accurately be applied by voices on either side of the debate. Does publishing pictures of the rope and noose by every news organization in the world likewise signal support for that as a method of execution ?Again,,,this is a global audience, some people may be put off by the context.
