Saddam Hussein Is Still Dead
By Wyatt Earp | November 2, 2008
Are the masks really necessary?
But apparently, he was killed six more times before his burial.
The body of Saddam Hussein was stabbed six times after he was executed, according to the head guard at the former president’s tomb north of Baghdad, who was one of the people that helped bury the corpse, the London Times reported today.
Saddam’s tribe denies the claim, and the Iraqi government similarly denies any mutilation took place after the dictator was hanged on December 30, 2006, for crimes against humanity.
Talal Misrab, 45, is the chief guard at Saddam’s tomb, housed in a large hall in al-Awja, a small village north of Baghdad, where the fallen dictator spent much of his childhood.
In an interview with The Times, he claimed: “There were six stab wounds on his body.” Misrab alleged that four of the wounds were on the former president’s front and two on his back. He also said there was an injury to his face. (H/T – FOXNews)
If you’re looking for some sympathy for this piece of garbage, you won’t find it here. However, I think stabbing Hussein after the hanging is a fairly cowardly move. And, if I may quote Bugs Bunny here: “Only a big, fat rat would stab a guy . . . in da back!”

Maybe it was done for a symbolic reason? Of course, I am trying to place logic on people who seem to lack it. Why would you stab a corpse?
As long as you’re asking, “Why would anybody do this?” check this out, but take your blood pressure meds first.
RT – No reason. He’s dead. Be grateful and move on.
Prof – Wow, that is the worst thing I have heard this year.
Re: Prof’s link…That is just disgusting and cruel.
It is funny Randal did not comment on this; I figured that he would have been a huge Saddam Hussein fan.
