"Christian Newswire: Stills of Saddam Hussein's Execution"

[Bluebear]

So, this "Christian Communication Network" is providing these very graphic still pictures online, you know, as a service to journalists:

--------


MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 1 -- Stills submitted to our newswire claiming to be of Saddam Hussein as he was executed are available online.

The former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was hanged before dawn Saturday, December 30, 2006, for crimes committed during his reign. The execution took place shortly after 10 p.m. Friday EST.

The execution of Saddam Hussein is an historic and newsworthy event. The publication of such controversial material is primarily to provide journalists with unedited information. :eyes: If any offense results from the publication of the stills, it is unintended.

11. I feel sorry for Christians

The real ones. The ones that don't pervert scripture to mean "All good Christ-lovers vote Red."

[depakid]

12. I don't know (and I don't mean this to offend)

But isn't the Christian symbol one of execution?

Seems to me, there may be several levels of irony there....

14. Those idiots stole those "stills" from the original video posted on the internet

...low lifes. :mad:

Its just a screen shot taken from the video and they know its bullshit otherwise they wouldn't have added "Standard Newswire makes no claim of authenticity of the photos."

He likes righteous bloodshed, is a staunch defender of Paul Hill and Michael Griffin's "justifiable" homicides.
