They held him for longer, but the death itself was just as quick. Big difference. Though I agree, in Bigley's position, perhaps it would be better for him if they spared him the anguish and got it over with quicker without false hope.
Can't tell from your post whether you missed my joke, but just in case you did, it was a joke. I don't want to be part of a debate on whether Bigley was killed faster or slower than the American victims, so I'll stop here. :rolleyes:
