He did say something: Notice the last sentence of the riddle. "Gasslefield makes his final statement..."

Brandon, I'm still waiting for an email with the answer.
If no one gets it today, I'll post the answer tomorrow morning.
by the way, he is Gasslefield. His statement is one that prevents them from killing him.
Britni (sp?) got it with a small hint. The hint I gave was this:
It has something to do with him saying something about how he's killed.
She's the first one to get the correct answer without looking it up. Go Brit!
Sarah was the second one. I'm impressed. I'll admit, I had to look at the answer.
Jake Leman nailed it too. :)
the answer is:
The general's last statement is, "I will be shot." If they take this statement to be true they'll hang him, making the statement false which means they should've shot him, which would make the statement true meaning they should hang him...etc. He got off on a technicallity.
