Arab media is reporting that Saddam Hussein has been executed.
State-run Iraqiya television, Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya and the U.S.-financed Al-Hurra, reported about an hour before daylight Saturday that Saddam had been executed.
The fact that people are dying left, right and center in Baghdad kind of takes the gravitas out of this event.
Sort of hard to stand in awe of state sanctioned murder when your uncle got blown up to little bits trying to by a lettuce for his family's dinner.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been executed, a witness said.
"Saddam's body is in front me," said an official in the prime minister's office when CNN telephoned. "It's over."
In the background, Shiite chanting could be heard. When asked about the chanting, the official said "These are employees of the prime minister's office and government chanting in celebration."
'Cause that will help bring everyone together in a spirit of peace and non-violence.
