Saddam hospitalized due to hunger-strike
2006-07-23
Iraqi former leader Saddam Hussein has been hospitalized due to a days-long hunger-strike, a prosecutor said on Sunday. Chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi told reporters that Saddam had been taken to hospital on Sunday due to his hunger-strike and that he was currently fed by a tube. Moussawi also said that the former Iraqi president, who is on trial for charges against humanity, might not be able to attend the court session scheduled for Monday. No further details were revealed.

Saddam, along with three of his seven co-accused including his half brother and once Iraqi intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim, vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan and head of Saddam's former revolutionary court Awad al-Bandar, has started a hunger strike since July 7.

#2  My suggestion: use a foie gras force feeder to fill him up with junk food and Coca Cola until he weighs about 700 pounds and needs a forklift to get him into court.

The best part will be when they hang him.
