Weird one this – Saddam is now certain that he will be hung, so his prose is all martylike. Strangely enough Yahoo news is running 2 stories on this:
BAGHDAD (Reuters) –
Saddam Hussein, due to be hanged within 30 days, said his execution should be seen as a sacrifice for the nation and called on Iraqis to unite and fight U.S. forces in the country.
and
BAGHDAD, Iraq – In a farewell letter to the Iraqi people,
Saddam Hussein urged his countrymen not to hate the people of the nations that toppled his regime nearly four years ago and said he was offering “my soul to God as a sacrifice.
So which one is it?
