A co-defendant in the trial of Saddam Hussein complained on Wednesday about the quality of cigarettes the U.S. military gave him while in custody.Carltons! No wonder we hate you people!
Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, Saddam's former intelligence chief and one of his most feared sidekicks, also said the food was bad and he was not given blankets. He lost 18 kilos in just two months in captivity, he complained.
Oh. You're not on a hunger strike?
"We were detained by one of the wealthiest countries in the world, yet it was only after four months in detention that they gave me cigarettes," said Barzan, charged with crimes against humanity.
They can put a man on the moon but they can't get an accused mass murderer a pack of Marlboros?
"And then they were of the worst quality in the world."
Mmmmmmmm. Carltons.
Saddam and his co-defendants have frequently berated the Americans and their Iraqi allies over their treatment.
Don't worry. We'll make sure we use the highest quality rope for your noose.
The former president complained earlier in the trial about having a notepad confiscated and having to walk up several flights of stairs to the courtroom because of a broken elevator.
Awwwwww. No porn for Sammy.
