Saddam Hussein has been transfered over to the Iraqis, and will likely have his date with the hangman before the weekend is up.

Thousands of Iraqis, both within the nation and outside, volunteered to be the hangman.  The official hangman will not be disclosed in order to keep him safe as Baathists and Saddam loyalists have threatened revenge.

Iraqi officials plan on video taping the execution, though it’s unlikely any of the footage will ever be shown.
