Saddam's Aides Hanged

Saddam Hussein's  half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court were hanged today.

Two of Saddam Hussein's aides were hanged before dawn on Monday, the Iraqi government said, admitting that the head of his half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti was also ripped from his body during the execution.

Video was shot, of course, and already shown to reporters.  I'm sure it will work its way to the internet soon.  Once I have a link I will provide it for those interested.

Hot Air has more info.

**Update** While video of the hangings haven't surfaced, some footage of the two being buried in Tikrit has.  Video available at LiveLeak.
