"Saddam is going to want to use the tribunal as a platform for his political views," Mr Chalabi said. "But we're not going to let him. We're going to make him focus on the very specific charges against himJust like Nuremberg.
The Nazi's wanted to use a "Tu quoque (you too)" defense. They were not allowed.

I have this stinking feeling this trial is going to be a huge FIASCO!
To: blam
Since it will be televised, we should be able to see something tonight on him - I want to see which dress he chooses...like JF'nK and his ties, maybe he will choose pink...

Saddam was wearing Arab dress and no longer had a beard at the hearing, which lasted for only a couple of minutes. Hopefully, the next hearing will be just as short.....
"We, the people of Iraq, have heard your defense. Tomorrow. Dawn. Nearest large tree. See you there.

Too bad he won't see Vince Bugliosi ("Helter Skelter" case) sitting at the prosecutors table.

No, the Iraqis are determined and they don't have a wimpy legal system like ours.

It makes me sick these demons are treated with any type of respect. Their victims were in the thousands in number and most of them were mutilated.
If I were a lower ranking officer and had happened to just stumble onto Saddam. I would have shipped him to Najaf the next day to stand trial in a Shiite court.
Ali the butcher would have been tried in the Kudish village where he acted so bravely with his skull and bones howitzer shells.
I believe due process is only deserved to those of the human species. These are animals. Put them down quickly like you would a rabid dog.

Today's hearing wasn't televised; tomorrow's is, I think.

could even a stoner trust fund hippie college student liberal wear a shirt that says "free saddam"??? normally i wouldnt put anything past these people but I dont know if they would even support that.
To: blam
Saddam's trial is expected to start in several months' time and Mr Chalabi fears his biggest challenge will be curbing the former dictator's tongue
Just cut it out. It worked for him for 30 years!!
To: blam
Part of me is not a death penalty fan. I'd sorta give the benefit of the doubt that a few of of these people can make a difference in their institutionalized world and I repeat "institutionalized world."
That and I've read it actually cost more to have these low life appeal death sentences than live in prison to the day they die.
But this guy has wayyyy crossed the line. He's commited genocide! There is no way he fits into the definition of humanity.
We don't need him. We don't want him. He should be erased. Most people would understand why.

Strange. Earlier today I read that Saddam was highly agitated and nervous during the proceedings.

Sure he's relaxed now...
His lawyer hasn't told him yet that the US Supreme Court can't overturn Iraqi courts.
