Saddam Hussein has been beaten and tortured by the Americans, he has alleged at his trial in Baghdad.
"I have been beaten on every place of my body, and the signs are all over my body," he told the court.
Christopher Reid of the US Embassy in Baghdad rejected the allegation, telling CNN it was "absolutely bogus".
Saddam Hussein is on trial over the killing of 148 people in the Iraqi Shia village of Dujail in 1982. He denies responsibility for the deaths.
The former Iraqi leader had spent much of the day listening quietly as two witnesses testified against him and seven associates.
The prosecution ridiculed his claim of torture, saying the former Iraqi leader was being held in an air-conditioned room when some of Baghdad had no power.

This is good - casts public doubt on the other "torture" allegations.

Does listening to Ramsey Clark speak count as torture?

When I was a kid my sister lied to my mother and said I'd hit her. I got a paddling with a ping pong paddle. I made a point to later hit my sister for real telling here that if I was going to be punished anyway I might as well be guilty. Get the point Saddam?

Saddam knows the only hope he has is winning the support of the MSM and the American left. He hates George Bush's guts and liver, which automatically makes him a hero in their eyes.

Saddam should be taken to the central market in Baghdad and introduced to the Iraqi people. Then he would learn what a proper beating is really all about.

Well we can't bew sure if Sadaam is telling the truth or not so I think it's time for another front page picture of him in his tightie whities so we can see if he's bruised or not. Bawahahahaahahah!

Why is it that you can't tell the difference between a terrorist's statement and a press release from the Democratic Party?

Good question. Wonder if any reporters will ask it of Harry Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Schumer, Dodd et al.

He should be glad we just didn't toss him to the Shiites or the Kurds.
He would have learned a whole new world of hurt.
