"He [Saddam] resumed eating with his dinner meal on June 22," the spokesman for the US-run detainee operations told AFP.
On Thursday it was reported that Saddam had refused his midday meal to protest the killing of Khamis al-Obeidi, one of his senior lawyers defending him in the ongoing trial for crimes against humanity.

He should be sued for misrepresentation by the copyright holders of the phrase "hunger strike".

A "man" of conviction.

He went on a hunger strike for one meal? That's it, he's convinced me. We should let him go and put him back in charge of Iraq.

"If they would just hang him, he would never have to eat again."
If he's to be suspended, then let it be by the appendages, or by a rib on a meat hook - but not by the neck!

LOL, at least his two Son's went down fighting.
Saddam will cry before this trial is over, and our MSM will publish many sympathetic articles about Saddam's love for Iraq, and his people...
Mark my words !

I think Ramsey Clark is having these defense lawyers knocked off so he can get the trial into an international court.

Why didn't they just lob a few grenades into that rat hole and then we wouldn't have to hear about his hunger strike... he's such a cartoon.
