Iraqis were responsible for Saddam hanging -US general

America was Responsible for the Kangaroo Court and Trial, so America are responsible for the execution.

BAGHDAD, Jan 3 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. general said on Wednesday U.S. forces left all security measures at Saddam Hussein's execution, including searching witnesses for mobile phones, to Iraqi authorities.

An unofficial video of the hanging, apparently filmed on a mobile phone, showed Shi'ite officials taunting Saddam just before he was hanged, sparking outrage among his fellow Sunni Arabs as well as concern among moderate Shi'ites and Kurds.

Asked at a news conference in Baghdad on Wednesday about criticism of the hanging, U.S. military spokesman Major General William Caldwell said: "It was not our decision as to what occurred but we would have done it differently."

"We had absolutely nothing to do with the facility where the execution took place," Caldwell said, adding that U.S. forces flew Saddam to the prison where the execution took place at dawn and then withdrew from the building.
