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 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.

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.
A year has passed since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 4 hijacked planes, 19 terrorists, 63 fatherless newborns, and more than 3,000 innocent lives taken.
In my 30 years I have seen a number of major events. The assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, the attack on our Marines in Beirut, the Gulf War, the first World Trade Center attacks, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing. Never before did I feel the impact of those events the way that 9/11 hit home.
Driving south on 75 that morning on my way into downtown Dallas, I heard the breaking news on The Ticket. I made a few calls on my cell phone to tell family and friends and continually watched the sky as I drove, hoping that the next plane wouldn’t hit Dallas.
Working at a travel agency made the events of the day all more significant. Do we have clients on those 4 planes? Do we have clients in the air? How do we get all of this breaking information out to our clients? Does any of this even matter now?
That one day seemed like it would last forever. So much uncertainty. What would happen next? Tomorrow?
No one could possibily imagine what would and wouldn’t happen next:
