From CNN Online:

"Hussein was taken next door to the execution chamber. A heated argument with the Shiite Iraqi security officers took place after one of the executioners told Hussein that he had destroyed Iraq, according to Judge Munir Haddad, a witness to the execution.

Hussein praised the mujahedeen and jihadists, and cursed Persians and the Western world. He refused to wear a head covering, al-Rubaie said."
