Exactly right. Back in the "old days", there existed tables that the hangman would consult, referencing the height and weight of the executionee, telling the hangman how long the rope should be to create the proper force for a quick neck snap.

I'd pay to see Bush up there. . . :thumbup:

Don't think it was necessary to post the pics, probably best if you remove them. Links would have been just fine.

PeteG&StatDoc are right on, from all the visceral reading I've done...
If you watch the vid, (even the NewYawkTimes has it, so I'm not
sure it's Ogrish.com material :rolleyes: ), the setup was simply a slide noose of
very thick rope with a way big/many coiled "knot" that slid done
over the slip noose, tight against SH's neck, jaw and side of head...
it did the job, but it was not a well done hangman's noose, imo.

I suspect the "reasonable" human condition is such that for many
people it seems gruesome, overdone, capital punished, etc.

Sure he was a puppet and propped up by the US for years; typical
int'l "politics" by the geniuses in DC. He was also a barbaric, stoical
butcher whom would have your mother cut up and fed to the goats
if you looked at him incorrectly. F'em...there are thousands and thousands
like his ilk, of all skin colors, waiting in line for the same type "position" and
spoils that he had. He was a murdering thug in fancy suits, surrounded by
killer sychophants and boot lickers willing to do any bad deed he requested.
Hope they let him rot in the streets of Baghdad.

Rant over...

What if the neck doesn't brake, can you give us an idea of what happens then?

If I was him I'd like to be shot. Somehow its just more manly but then maybe that's why it was done this way. For some reason facing a firing squad in my opinion is not as degrading as being hung.

I was not suggesting ways to kill him. I was simply providing some insight on how hanging executions work (or are supposed to work).

I agree Saddam was a monster. What are your thoughts on this.
