Cell Phone Video of the Dirt Worshiper Saddam Hussein Hanged

Taken via someone's cell phone. Arab television has shown this video and American networks have made some mention of it. But even though it matches the previously and widely seen video that circulated beginning Friday night, we must still say "purported," in deference to an official authentication.

UPDATED 1/2/2007: No longer "purported,"according to this article from the Associated Press, via Yahoo News: "BAGHDAD, Iraq - The prime minister on Tuesday ordered an investigation into the conduct of Saddam Hussein's execution in a bid to learn who among the witnesses taunted the former Iraqi leader in the last minutes of his life, then leaked a cell phone video." It then goes on to describe the video linked to above.
