Saddam Execution Video Leaker Arrested

Seems like a waste of time, but I guess it was not supposed to be released so quickly, if at all.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The person believed to have recorded Saddam Hussein's execution on a cell phone camera was arrested Wednesday, an adviser to Iraq's prime minister said.

The adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, did not identify the person. But he said it was "an official who supervised the execution" and who is "now under investigation."

"In the past few hours, the government has arrested the person who made the video of Saddam's execution," the adviser said.

Saddam's half-brother is scheduled to swing tomorrow; I surmise they'll be checking for cellphones at the gallows door.
