De-crappy-tation (ie: I’m implying the execution was carried out badly)

So, they’ve executed two of Saddam’s henchmen, and quite incredibly, they have managed to fuck it up more than Saddam’s murder itself.
Like Saddam, they were hanged. Unfortunately, it went a bit wrong: one of the murderees were decapitated. Barzan Ibrahim’s head came off. Beheaded. Seriously.
Now, I’m not being funny, but you’d think that if you’re doing something so important in the public eye, you’d at least do it right. You’d double check and triple check the rope- as you wouldn’t want everyone thinking that your idea of “justice” is medieval… and not just medievil.
I think its disgusting that they managed to mess up so bad. I hope that heads will roll over this.
It looks like the procedure was much the same as Saddam too – the executions all wore balaclavas, dead professional, like. But unlike Saddam, the two men being executed were wearing orange boiler suits.
The video of the hanging/beheading hasn’t been released- presumably the “hot potato” with the head afterwards would prove too embarrassing for the Iraqi government. However, I have managed to get hold of this exclusive screencap of the execution:
Oh, hang on. Sorry, wrong picture there… that’s actually Ken Bigley, who was beheaded by insurgents in Iraq a few years ago. I cannot believe I got the extra-judicial murder of a Briton by terrorists confused with these executions.
