Hussein: Coverage wrap-ups 4
The L.A. Times’ Matea Gold wraps up the Friday night/Saturday morning coverage of Hussein’s execution…
For most of Saturday, American TV relied on a tape made available earlier that showed only the moments leading up to the hanging.
CNN and Fox News also aired a grainy video of his body, his head twisted at a sharp angle as his shrouded corpse lay on a stretcher.
ABC, CBS and NBC decided to show a still photo from that footage, apparently made with a cellphone camera.
Fox News has a link to the entire hanging video filmed with a camera phone. Amazing how the US spends trillions of $ on a so called war and the evil tyrant ends up hanging with what looks like a piece of rope from Home Depot in some run down basement in what could be Hoboken NJ for all I know. Maybe they are saving all the glam and party favours for Bin Laden; come out, come out, wherever you are!!
