Times Online - Saddam to hang within 30 days

(The FOXnews headline: “Saddam’s Noose Tightens“, which I took to be another article on the legal process, so I skipped right over it. Went to the Times website and “Woah, really?” Why do they have to be cute? Why can’t they just write the bloody news headline?)

Saddam Hussein will be executed by hanging within 30 days after a panel of appeal court judges upheld the death sentence passed on the former Iraqi dictator last month.

So, with the Eastern Orthodox Christmas still 13 days away, and twelve days of Christmas beyond that, that’s 25 days for this to be a really excellent Christmas present.
