Excellent article from the exceptional John Burns. Finally I have what feels like a reasonably complete picture of the courtroom that day. All the other reporting has been like looking through a keyhole. We hear from one report that Saddam was nervous and in another, defiant. Now we see that it was both.
I think Saddam's underlings are going to go turncoat on him. I think we (or I should say, the Iraqis) have this one in the bag, regardless of how many slicked back Euroweasel attorneys are there to throw a monkeywrench into this thing.
To Sadaam: Goodbye EVIL ONE...
May you reap what you have sown,
May you feel the horror and pains;
And may you writhe, fear and groan
as did the victims killed by Husseins.
The hourglass is emptying fast,
you must breathe slowly now
the air will no longer last;
your death is now only how?
Goodbye, good riddance evil one.
Your body will never more rest,
No virgins, no life, no more fun.
It is hell to pay, the devil's guest.
