US - Lawyers for the National football league have announced that they are to sue the President G W Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki for breach of contract.

The NFL claims that they had they had an exclusive contract for the Television, video and film rights for the hanging of Saddam Hussein, which they had planned to show live during half time at super bowl XLI, at the Dolphins Stadium in South Florida on February 4th 2007

Lawyers said that a lot of money had been spent, on building a gallows with 360 degree visibility; this coupled with the lost film and video rights, and booking a new act to replace the hanging, is going to mean damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lawyers have already moved to seize the mobile phones and official film of the hanging, and have sent copyright violation notices to You Tube, My Space and other similar websites hosting video of Saddam Hussein’s hanging.

A Spokesman for GW said that he was pissed that he had been asleep when Saddam Hussein was hanged.

"It was to have been the best moment of his presidency., still Dick and Rummy will be pleased that he is dead and cannot incriminate them about the supply of chemical weapons components during the Iraq Iran war."
