The official government video of the execution was released without sound and ends when the noose is put around Hussein's neck. But a crude cell-phone video leaked less than 24 hours later goes much further -- showing bitter exchanges between Hussein and his Shiite guards. After Hussein offers prayers, the guards shout praise for Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric whose father is believed to have been murdered by Hussein's regime. They chant, "Muqtada! Muqtada! Muqtada!" Hussein smiles. "Is this how you show your bravery as men?" he asks. "Straight to hell," someone shouts back at him. "Is this the bravery of Arabs?" Hussein asks. A sole voice is heard trying to silence the taunts. "Please, I am begging you not to," the unknown man says. "The man is being executed." Another shout, "Long live Mohammed Baqir Sadr" -- referring to Muqtada al-Sadr's father-in-law and a founder of the Shiite Dawa movement who was executed by the Hussein regime. Dawa is al-Maliki's party. The taunts continued, and the trapdoor dropped shortly after 6 a.m. Saturday. Hussein was hanged. (Watch Hussein's last moments Video) Immediately after, Shiite witnesses danced around his body, chanting celebratory slogans. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/01/01/saddam.execution/index.html
