any video links to that execution where his head was severed? i thought it was released by iraqi gov't to show that his decapitation was not premeditated.

there's a formula for hanging. it takes into account the mans height; and weight. the formula calculates the lenght of drop. too short and the man is strangled to death; too far and the head will be pulled off. the right lenght breaks the mans neck killing him instantly.
