#2 Ridiculous. This judge is quite a character, and always has to leave things looking like someone else has dropped the ball. There were never supposed to be any handwriting analysts in court that day, and he knew it. He signed off on press release the night before that announced it would be a brief procedural session. Whatever. Just remember that the coverage of this trial has been the worst the MSM can do - which is pretty bad. They're getting better (AP and Reuters, believe it or not - and the NYT and LAT are actually not doing a bad job) - but the international interest in ignoring, distorting, and slandering the process parallels the determination to never give the US credit for anything in Iraq.
