Hussein: Coverage wrap-ups…
The AP’s Lynne Elber writes about last night’s Hussein coverage…
TV news channels played a tense waiting game Friday as they ticked off the final hours of Saddam Hussein’s life, replaying scenes from the former Iraqi dictator’s reign as they waited for his death.
Saddam’s hanging Friday night ended a day of TV reporting fraught with uncertainty and speculation about whether his execution was imminent.
“The situation seems to be one of tremendous flux, but you and your viewers already know that,” Feisal al-Istrabadi, Iraq’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, said on CNN several hours before Saddam’s death.
Bob woodward will interview saddam as soon as thay cut him down from the gallows.
