Yes, invoke the Mussolini option. This whole trial is a farce.

Postponed because he objected to being searched? WTF is this?? You'd think that an Iraqi judge with enough love of country to risk life and limb in presiding over the Saddam trial would be a little more selfless in bringing that monster to justice. What a prima donna.

What happened was when the new judge came to the court he was searched vigorously by the Americans, which he did not like," said Najib al-Nuami, who represents Saddam.

Another defence lawyer, who declined to be named, said he too heard the hearing was postponed because Judge Abdel Rahman "was unhappy with security procedures, including searches".

Consider the source the Sun is quoting.

Could it be that as stated from a court statement.

"Due to the fact some of the complainants could not make it to attend the court, some of them are out of Iraq and some are on pilgrimage, the court decided to postpone the session until Sunday,"

I think so.

No either kill him, or let him go to take control of Iraq.

<< No either kill him, or let him go to take control of Iraq. >>

At present, in islamic North Africa, Arabia, the Middle East, the Persian Gulf region and, from Kabal and Islamabad to Bali, throughout the islamic world, because of the way he and his gang have been seen to be controlling and/or have been represented by the likes of al Jazeera, the BBC and CNN International as controlling the court proceedings, he is in control of Iraq.

Its possible they cannot prove his ordering anything which will stick in court.
Saddam can pass outcomes on independent actions by individuals in his regime.
He's probably negotiating for House arrest with Balconey and 60" Plasma TV.
If he gets exile though.....he then falls out of bed to his death 4 floors below with 4 9MM sluggs to the head.

This has gone beyond just dead-stupid.

The whole idea of a trial was to establish guilt or innocence. But Saddam Hussein was manifestly guilty, and there was never any reason to search for innocence that did not exist.

He should have been sentenced to death and put on a gallows long ago. It mocks his victims' suffering to somehow pretend that there is some chance that this man is innocent.

Now, the show "trial" that was supposed to "show" just how evil Hussein has instead turned into a silly circus: from hordes of defense lawyers, to "judges" who behave like spoiled and sullen children, to allowing Saddam Hussein to rant and wag fingers at the court.

There was never any need for a historical record to be developed from a trial. That's a fundamentally flawed idea: a trial is an adversarial proceeding that is ill-suited to the development of a rounded historical record. If you want history written, hire historians and not lawyers and judges.

Sentence him, hang him, and be done with this.

It is a circus. Show's over when they put him in a glass box to stand trial. Until somebody shuts his ass up in court, it will remain a circus, and he may even get off.

I'd prefer 45MM. And I'd prefer them a little lower, after all, he can't and won't be using them anyways.
