What's the Arabic for "Freedom!"

The National Review's Michael Ledeen reaches for a standard that makes the Saddam execution look good --

Remember the final scene in "Braveheart"? When the torturer has the crowd laughing with him about the agonies to which Mel Gibson is about to be subjected?

Speaking of Ledeen, he's the one who wrote --

They brought in the television cameras the other day to film the execution of an Italian hostage, Fabrizio Quattrocchi, but something went wrong. After forcing him to dig his own grave, they put a hood over his head and ordered him to kneel so he could be killed. He wouldn't go for it. He tried to remove the hood, and defiantly yelled at them "I will show you how an Italian dies."

So did Saddam show us how an Arab dies?
