#2 Under Iraqi law, a court can force a defendant to attend a trial if he is not willing
I hope they enforce this law.
Unbelievable the long lease this court has afforded him.

#3 WTF! Saddam did not attend today. Why he was not hauled in -- cuffed, shackled, tied to a wheel chair, and mouth duct-taped -- is beyond me. What a bunch of wimps we have become!

Visions of Bobby Seal are dancing in my head!!!! All we need is Rosenburg (??????) to be the freaking judge.

#6 A defendant has a right to attend court and face his accusers. That doesn't mean he has to be there. If he wants to sit in his cell and pout, fine.

#7 This whole kid-glove treatment pisses me off. This trial has become a freaking circus. The SOB needs to be present--and gagged if necessary--to face his accusers.

I can't believe how easily this amateur court and its officers have let this clown turn what should be a somber investigation into only one of many atrocities he's committed into a self-promotional freakshow. An internationally-televised self-promotional freakshow, I might add.

Someone has dropped the ball here--and they better get things returned to some sense of normality and damn *soon*.
