Chris, I think you're talking about being drawn and quartered, as the Chief said. Read up on the fate of William Wallace, the hero of the movie "Braveheart" who was drawn and quartered. At that time, circa 1305, (and for the next 550 years), the punishment for the crime of treason was that the convicted traitor, in this case Wallace, was dragged to the place of execution, hanged by the neck (but not until he was dead), and disembowelled (or drawn) while still alive. His entrails were burned before his eyes while he was alive, then, he was decapitated and his body was divided into four parts (or quartered). This was Wallace's fate (or Mel Gibson, as you may have seen him). His head was impaled on a spike and displayed at London Bridge, his right arm on the bridge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, his left arm at Berwick, his right leg at Perth, and the left leg at Aberdeen. Every other form of death I've seen described here pales in comparison to what happend to Mel Gibson (as Wallace) back then. But it does seem to satisfy all the needs of the various parts of Iraq for revenge. Of course, this will never happen. The head goofy or Quofi of the UN came out today and said that the "world" doesn't condone capital punishment. As if life in prison can somehow atone for killing 10's of thousands. There is no justice. Don't expect it.
