#2 Three week recess? Is it just me or is Saddam's circus making the O.J. trial look positively speedy by comparison?

#3 During the intervals the feisty Mr. Hussein goes back to his little cell, where he sees nobody but his captors, washes his own underthings, and goes outside perhaps one hour per day -- or perhaps not, I don't really know. The big excitement of his life is to go back to the courtroom where, despite his feisty bravado, he is reminded at every moment that others rule what used to tremble at his whim. A quick death would have been ever so much less humiliating to him... but this is instructive to the rest of the Arab world (I'm sure the Persians see no reason to apply such a lesson to themselves, being so much more ancient of history and civilization, after all.)

#4 My message to the Iraqi people is that they should not suffer from the guilt that they killed Kurds
Duh! Because they didn't kill them, you did, a**hole!
Bailiff - gag the prisoner!

#6 ROE - next time just throw the grenades without pins, down the rat hole first. Screw the Intel boys. Soldier's option.

#7 Spot, he did have help. Let's not allow anyone to make the "I was just following orders" defense.

#8 Eric-
True to some extent, but my point was that Sammy was trying to shift the blame off himself.
