Saddam to be Asphyxiated
I see (via PZ ) that Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death by hanging in an Iraqi court.
Death by hanging? People still do that? That is some fucked up shit. I know the guy is a bad man, but don't you want to move away from a culture where the government sentences people to gruesome deaths?

When done right it snaps your neck before you Asphyxiate. So it's more like death by Steven Segal.
State administered death by action hero is pretty much the litmus test of a civilized nation.

The Dr. Charles post PZ links to (in turn linked to by todd) has all the gory details, including the neck-snapping.
