Independent journalist Michael J. Totten is in Romania and has written a excellent article please take a look and if you can afford it...hit his tip jar...it's his only source of income. For that matter (shamless plug) hit mine too!

here's a short and grusome video of the end of Ceausescu from Liveleak, watch it only if you have a strong stomach. There is some violence in it.
