#1 I'm sure he is planning a great show at his trial. He will be defiant on TV for all to see. In the end he will remain a hero of the Palestinians.

#2 I like Mr. Rubaie: Direct, to the point, and a hater of Weasels...

#3 Mr. Rubaie said: "... he started to use very colorful language. Basically, he used all his French... He was exercising his French language."

LOL

#4 I think the Iraqis should have a LONG trial and allow everyone that has been touched by his evil to speak. Only that way will others (Syria, Egypt, Iran, etc.) will see what kind of evil they put upon their own people. That is why EVERY Arab leader regards this as a BAD thing. They see themselves in Saddam and they DON'T like what they see.

#5 It is so fitting that members of the Governing Council confronted Saddam so soon after his capture, to reproach him on behalf of all Iraqis who suffered under him.

#6 You know, Rush Limbaugh advised defendants in criminal trials to at least feign remorse and sorrow at what they'd done to their victims, because the ones who don't always get the chair or at least life.
Saddam could do worse than listen to El Rushbo in his cell...but I still think he's gonna get Jeffrey Dahmered long before he gets to a jury verdict.

#7 "It was clear he was a complete narcissist who was incapable of showing remorse or sympathy to other human beings."

well, DUH! I find this whole exchange a bit odd. It's almost as if the men confronting him are, for the first time, coming to the realization that this is all there is, and ever was, to Sadaam.

"When they arrested you why didnât you shoot one bullet? You are a coward."
It's almost as if the speaker is surprised and disappointed. Again - as if he would have expected more from Sadaam and was surprised that Sadaam did not rise to those expectations.

That they confronted him as someone who they once thought of as a great man, but had disappointed them, seems soooo odd in light of all of the horrific evil that this man has unleashed.
