Two others were hanged
Softly I’ve seen just a few reports that say two others were executed on the same day as Saddam Hussein: former director of the Mukhabarat intelligence service, his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti, and Iraq’s former chief judge Awad Ahmed Al Bandar Al Sadun. Both men were also sentenced to death by hanging for the killing of 148 people in Dujail, some 60 km north of Baghdad.
Most of what I can find pointing out that two others were sentenced to death also say they were hanged along with Saddam. Other reports say Iraqi government is going to wait until after EID.

Hopefully, we’ll see more of these hangings; now with “Maddas” (Saddam spelled backwards) gone, perhaps the Iraq population will wake up and see the good we’re doing for them — but, I’m not holding my breath!

American media is very crafty and careful about what it is allowing us to see, but by the same token, not afraid to lie to us with photoshopped images or pictures staged by terrorist sympathizing photogs. One of the many reasons I am happy for blogs.
