#2 Until the new gallows were built, the Iraqi government used an apparatus and an old rope left over from Mr. Husseins government, said the high-ranking government official. The rope had become so elastic that it would sometimes take as much as eight minutes to kill the convicted person.

I have an idea . . .

#3 There's a ready solution. Hook him to a pickup. Each driver gets to pull his carcass 1/2 mile. Should accomodate about 50-60 if they take it easy and don't hit too many obstacles.

#10 My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time
to let the punishment fit the crime
the punishment fit the crime
and make each prisoner pent
unwillingly represent
a source of innocent merriment
of innocent merriment

#11 With a elastic rope... keelhauling (otherwise known as trolling the hard way for sharks) would be effective. Make sure it's at least 500lb line so the bites tear.

#12 I like the idea of selling raffle tickets. I'm sure they can raise enough money to repave every highway in Iraq, plus have some left over for port renovations and the extension of the rail network. It's about time Iraq got something worthwhile out of Hussein, and his death may pave the way - pun intended.
