Matt Drudge has a link to abc13.com: Saddam’s execution cited in boy’s accidental hanging death

Police and family members said a 10-year-old boy who died by hanging himself from a bunk bed was apparently mimicking the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Sergio Pelico was found dead Sunday in his apartment bedroom in the Houston-area city of Webster, said Webster police Lt. Tom Claunch. Pelico’s mother told police he had previously watched a news report on Saddam’s death.

The wire story goes on to note that Police investigators learned that Sergio had been upset about not getting a Christmas gift from his father, but they don’t believe the boy intentionally killed himself.

I hope that this tragedy was an accident and that this little boy didn’t believe he was bad and deserved to die.

Jesus Christ gave His life as the ultimate Christmas gift from our Heavenly Father. Do you know Him?

Saddam Hussein Trial

Saddam Hussein is supposed to be executed within 30 days. Now his Baath Party is threatening to retaliate against the U.S.

Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party threatened Wednesday to retaliate if the ousted Iraqi leader is executed, warning in an Internet posting it would target U.S. interests anywhere.

I imagine at Al-Qaeda might be willing to assist in the Baath response.

Zero Hour

March 19, 2003

We started this entry about 10 minutes ago while watching initial reports of the air raid sirens blaring in Iraq. Then OS X crashed. Why? Who knows.

We were making the point that this might be the first time in human history that the whole world waits and watches for war to begin. We are busy surfing the Net, watching the Stars rally against Atlanta, and the war coverage on Fox News.

Have you heard that Saddam wants to ban Photoshop? And don’t even think about what might happen if the US were to lose this war.
