This was written by someone from the Washington Post, so I only took a few excerpts.

Iraqi judges and officials from war crimes tribunals newly established in Africa and the Balkans have consulted court officials recently.To know what NOT to do, no doubt. The Hague is a joke.

Hussein is trying out Slobo's tactic of defiance in the court and not recognizing it as legitimate.
Slobo learned the trick of putting lawnmower engines under balsawood "tanks" to attract US air to ground missiles from Saddam.
No fan of unrepentant Commies but I think Slobo's stance in more legit in the Hague. Saddam at least is being tried by his own countrymen.

"The slowness sometimes doesn't give us the best image," Theodor Meron, president of the 25-judge tribunal, said in an interview. "But this is truly an historic case." As historic as infamous Moscow show trials of 1930s. But not less odious.
Judge Meron, who was born in Poland, spent four years in a Nazi prison camp as a youth.
This in the moronic minds of Kangaroo Tribunal supporters makes Milosevic a Nazi.
Ship of Fools:
