Saddam Hussein to be executed within 36 hours?
BREAKING: CNN is reporting that Saddam Hussein's execution is likely to take place within the next 36 hours, possibly WITHOUT the media being notified. The Iraqi government is reportedly debating whether or not to publicly broadcast the execution...
UPDATE: Reuters reported earlier tonight that Saddam bade farewell to two of his family members, both half brothers, earlier today. Reuters also reported that a senior Bush administration official said Hussein could be executed as soon as Saturday.
UPDATE #2: CNN has it up on their website now as well.
UPDATE #3: Fox News reporting "24 hours" now as well. A U.S. military official is on the record with FNC saying the Iraq government is "anxious to get Saddam's execution done," and American forces are now in the process of finalizing the former Iraqi dictator's transfer to Iraqi custody and to the location where he would be executed.
MSNBC is reporting that Saddam will be executed BEFORE Sunday, possibly as early as Friday.

Possibly without the media being notified? A bit late, isn't it? :)
Meaning the media won't be notified as to precisely WHEN the execution is taking place. Of course, this all depends on whether or not the Iraqi gov. decides to let it be televised.
