Tour of prison reveals the last days of Saddam Hussein
The guards at the Baghdad detention facility called their prisoner "Vic" and let Hussein plant a little garden near his cell. Hussein was hanged on December 30, 2006, for his role in the killings of 148 people in a town north of Baghdad after a 1982 attempt to assassinate him. Hussein asked the guards to give his belongings to his lawyer and tell his daughter he was going to meet God with a clear conscience, sacrificing himself for Iraq and his people.The cell is a small, windowless, with a gun-metal gray floor and concrete sleeping platform. It has a sink and toilet in the corner.
Those guarding the former Iraqi leader developed a nickname for Hussein the nickname Vic derived from the initials V-I-C posted near his name in the holding facility. It meant "Very Important Criminal" Hussein liked this nickname. Guards found a journal that Hussein wrote while being in jail, he wrote about poeple should life thier hatred and live in kindness. This might have been done inorder for Hussein to endure his legacy.
Opinion
It is weird that poeple like Hussein think that by killing people that do not agree with them is a sacrifice for their god. This just shows the ignorance that people have. People just make up their own gods and start killing people for no reason. These kind of people need to be put in medical hospitals. Maybe not because that just takes money out of our pockets in taxes. Well we need to do something about this because there are still people out there that think like him and they need to be locked up.

Wife of missing ex-agent wants answers from Iran
It has been a year since retired FBI agent Robert Levinson disappeared in Iran, and his family still has no idea where he is. A crowd gathered wearing yellow ribbons that miss Levinson and they signed a petition that will be sent to Iran's Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, appealing for the Iranian leader to help find their missing relative. Levinson worked 30 years for the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and was employed as a private investigator at the time of his March 8, 2007, disappearance, the site says. Levinson's family has said they think he might have been working on a cigarette-smuggling case when he flew to Kish in Iran from Dubai. But Sunday, his wife said she's not totally sure what he was doing in Iran. The State Department has sent several letters to the Iranian government seeking information about Levinson. The Iranian government keeps saying that they do not have any information about him.
Opinion
I think that this is weird that the family has no idea where he is. It is also very weird that he just dissapeared and has been gone for a year now. It is sad that the iran governament is not trying very hard to find him. The family should not give up and should keep bothering the government to search for Levinson.
