Saddam Hunger Strike Ends
After six straight agonizing hours without food, deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has ended his hunger strike. The strike was launched to protest the use of a generic substitute for his customary Kellogg's Fruit Loops.
Curtis Debabbler, a human rights lawyer who has been retained to defend Saddam Hussein, labeled the shift to generic “Fruity Hoops” as “shabby and indecent.” “This man was absolute ruler of a sovereign nation of over 20 million people,” said Debabbler. “To try to foist this inferior substitute on him is another chapter in the book of American atrocities committed in Iraq.”
Debabbler asserted that the indignity and unbearable hunger pangs forced Saddam to cut his strike short. “Saddam had wanted to hold out until dinner,” said Debabbler. “But the aroma of the Sloppy Joes that were being served to the other prisoners in his cell block broke his spirit. It is tactics like these that illustrate why America is hated around the world.”
Debabbler says he will be filing a writ to demand Saddam’s release on the grounds that he has “already suffered enough.” “Considering the round-the-clock confinement Saddam has suffered over the last two-and-one-half years, we think commuting his ultimate sentence to ‘time-served’ would be an equitable settlement of the charges against him,” said Debabbler.
