So is he dead, let the conspiracy theorists begin.
So let's see, we have all pretty much seen the video of moments before hanging, and the tightening of the noose, and also the grainy cell phone film of his body lying in a shroud, but we have yet to see fairly definitive proof of his actually execution (which surprises me, Arab TV loves to show this stuff), or a nice clear photo of him clearly being dead, and it actually being Saddam. Now if he start turning up on video like Bin Laden, we know we have problem.
SLIGHT EDIT: OK, it took a little digging, but I found some full video of his execution, it is up at The Wand of Wonder. I must warn you, it is graphic, and looks very real.
You are listening too . . .
Since emo is so popular, I figured I might explore some of it's roots, back before these whiny psuedo gothic punk bands we have today known as emo. First, one of the real forefathers of emo, Samiam. This particular track is one of their more popular, Step Son. Sam took the early lessons of Bad Religion, Fugazi, and such and put a more emotional bent on their music.

I bought the "new Beatles" album Love today. I must say, very impressive. Evidently the Cirque du Soleil is putting on a Beatles based show. So they hired Sir George Martin (the Beatles Producer) and his son Giles. They were issued original recordings of many Beatles classics from the living members of the Beatles and their family to kid of make a remix album. I must say, awesome. I love some of the remixing they did, the songs they used, and the blends. None of the originals lose their power either. From what I have read, the remaining Beatles and family love the album. I might put some up soon.

Further notes on the video. CNN has shown some of it, up to the part where he falls through the trap door. They also tranlate the banter and shouting. Interesting. Saddam plays the Islamic Matyr card the whole time.
