In the article titled US to Re-hang Saddam Hussein it elaborates on how the United States government did not feel comfortable with what the way Saddam died. House officials say that the hanging was done in a grainy, amateur, and gruesome and lacks a sense of excitement. When put on by the American Government there will be inspiring music and there will also be prime time footage directly form Baghdad. They claim that they want the people of America to watch the re-hanging, to show the positive outcome of the war. The body of Saddam was dug up and then wired together by US Army forensics experts so that the body would stay together. This whole idea is ludicrous, the fact that someone would think of that is in bad taste. I am not sure if this article is real and this is actually going to happen, if it is there is something wrong with our government.
The article written is very one sided; only those who would like to see a dead man get hung again were really the ones who were in this article. The opposition never really had a voice in this article at all, and with something like this it is good to see both sides reaction. Me being a person who is against the death penalty in general, I argue that digging a body up just to “kill” it again is just grotesque and immoral; and it would be just a show to try and raise more support for a war that lacks it a lot right now
