#4 Give him a carton of Thai cigarettes, and make him smoke them all in a three-day period. He'll be hoarse for a month. That'll at least cut off his complaints.

These people deserve nothing but a 4x4x4 windowless cell, for about 70 years. Weld the door shut and feed them mush through a straw. Death's too good for them.

#6 Wait till he finds out ol' Cousin Saddam got Doritos. He'll really lose it then!

#7 SAddam and his henchmen are using a "softening" psychology on their guards/captors. They are simply trying to soften their captivity enough to hopefully creat some sort of opening for an escape. Far Fetched? The first day of the trial when they heard the of mortors dropping around the Green Zone, Saddam immediately started dropping information for those outside the walls, where he thinks there are still masses that support him.

Walking up 4 flights of stairs. Must mean the court room is on the second floor. Elevator broken, can mechanics from the outside who are on my side get in here somehow.

These guys are not just being pansies, they are working the system with all they've got to stay away from those gallows.

#8 Right on the money RG. If they break that monster and his gang out, all bets are off. We're in for a fu** of a time. The longer he breaths, the worse it will get.

#9 This food is absolutely horrible, and such small portions too.

#10 Besoeker,

The tip off to me was, here these guys are in a trial where there is no doubt they are going to the gallows, very soon, and they are complaining about lots of little things that one who is about to be executed would never even be thinking about (cheap cigarettes, better food) so they are saying that stuff for two reasons, to soften up the environment and to hide remarks that could clue an outside force about their jail environment as I indicated a couple of comments above.

The judge needs to shut these guys mouths up in court.
