BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein ended a brief hunger strike after missing just one meal in his U.S.-run prison, a U.S. military spokesman said Friday.
The former Iraqi leader had refused lunch Thursday in protest at the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen, but the spokesman said he ate his evening meal.
Former Saddam aides being held in the same prison had refused to eat three meals since Wednesday evening but ended their fast with the ex-president.
"They all took their dinner meal," the spokesman told Reuters.
Saddam is on trial for crimes against humanity for his role in the 1982 killing of 148 Shi'ites in Dujail. His lead counsel, Khalil al-Dulaimi, has blamed pro-government Shi'ite militias for the murder of his deputy Khamis al-Obaidi Wednesday.
He called off his hunger strike after missing one meal? What a wuss.
Even Jesse Jackson thinks it was a lame hunger strike.
Oh good grief!!!
As the Code Pinko leaderhip said recently, "Some fasts are successful, others aren't. You never know."

Seeing that picture of him was nice. I used to wish we had just killed him. But he looks so pathetic that it is worth letting him live. His every moment is torture. He used to control the fates of millions; now he isn't even in charge of when he uses the toilet. His family is destroyed. His life has become an endless succession of people pressing his buttons, while he squeals in fury behind the bars of a cage. He is utterly powerless, and doesn't even have the force of character to maintain a fast for two meals. Long live the king.
My husband and I were laughing about this last night. I told him about Saddam ending his hunger strike and my husband said it's because of Cheetos!! Frito Lay should do a commerical about Saddam's love of Cheetos.
i go on a hunger strike every time my wife fixes liver and onions...
One lawyer = one meal.
Sounds fair to me... hehe
OK c'mon. Someone still cooks liver and onions? Liver is just plain nasty. Makes good catfish bait, though.
Al Sharpton's hunger strikes always seems to last at least for a day.
Well said.
