Evidence from Prosecutor: Americans allowed the mobile video of the hanging

Evidence from a senior Iraqi court official provides compelling evidence that Americans took all mobiles except two used openly by "high-ranking government officials". This confirms that the mobile phone video was not recorded secretly, but was done openly and with government approval, and that the Americans controlled who was allowed in with any mobile phone. This reinforces the belief that both the making, and the leaking of the video, was deliberate black propaganda to further inflame the civil war.

Execution Video Meant to Cause Shia-Sunni Conflict

The leaking of the videotape of hanging of Saddam and the dialogue that was exchanged between Saddam's executioners, handpicked by Americans, and the subsequent planting of stories in mainstream media that Saddam's hanging will be seen by Shia's as a welcome sacrifice on one of the Holiest days of Islam was a deliberate act meant to create a backlash amongst Muslims and a Shia-Sunni conflict in the Muslim world.

THIS MUST BE AVOIDED. Israel would be the main beneficiary of such a conflict. The US people (outside of the arms/war industry), as well as the wider world, would be the major losers.

Iraqi prosecutor states "Two officials were holding mobile phone cameras," said Faroon, who was a deputy prosecutor in the case for which Saddam was hanged and is the chief prosecutor in a second trial that will continue against his aides for genocide against the Kurds. "One of them I know. He's a high-ranking government official," Faroon said, declining to name the man. "The other I also know by sight, though not his name. He is also senior. "I don't know how they got their mobiles in because the Americans took all our phones, even mine which has no camera."

WPN Note : The report above confirms that the mobile phone video was not recorded secretly, but was done openly, with government sanction, and that the Americans controlled who was, and was not, allowed in with a camera phone. This reinforces the belief that both the making, and the leaking, of the video was deliberate black propaganda to further inflame the civil war. This is reinforced by reports that Guards did not even allow Saddam to sleep on the night of the execution.
