Saddam Requests Firing Squad Over Noose
Having been shot (and it didn't hurt until late that night), I think I'd choose firing squad over hanging as well. Saddam Hussein had to be figuratively dragged to court where he made the following request:
He asked the court to execute him by firing squad — "not by hanging as a common criminal" — if it convicts him of all charges and sentences him to death.
"I ask you being an Iraqi person that if you reach a verdict of death, execution, remember that I am a military man and should be killed by firing squad," he said.
