A BLOG EXCLUSIVE!!!!
Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who was executed one week ago today, apparently made a deal with the U.S. military that would have allowed him to escape to Jordan in return for calling off the Sunni resistance in Iraq.
According to Iran's Al-Alem TV news, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki learned of the plan from Iraqi security forces and made a decision to rush the execution.
For the past week, countries around the world have condemned the rush to execute Saddam Hussein and the treatment he received at his hanging.
A leaked cell phone video (first reported on this website) of Saddam's gruesome hanging was seen by millions around the world. In the video, Hussein is seen shouting prayers while being taunted by Shi'ite prison guards.
Media organizations and bloggers have speculated why the execution was so rushed and sloppy. This is the first report of a reason for the events of last week that may have some credence to it.
Note: IRC has been unable to confirm these reports, but we're working on it. There is no other blog or media organization reporting this news at this time. But they will be.
