Quite a bit of confusion on when Saddam's last day will actually be.
"Iraq's Saddam-era penal code bars executions on religious holidays. Eid al-Adha holiday, which follows the annual haj pilgrimage to Mecca, runs until January 7 in Iraq."
I'm not sure, but I belive Eid al-Adha starts directly after the 1st of January. If that is the case, they may rush him to the noose before then.
(EDIT) They wasted no time. Eid al-Adha started today for the Sunni and the Kurds. In Iraq, they cannot execute on a religious holiday. Now I understand why Eid al-Adha starts tomorrow for the Shia. (or so the way it looks...)
