BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A Kurdish villager testified Tuesday that he fled an attack by Saddam Hussein's forces 18 years ago, leaving behind his mother and two sisters. Years later, their identity cards were discovered in a mass grave, he said.
"Congratulations! you are in a cage, Saddam," witness Ghafour Hassan Abdullah said as he stared at the ousted president. Hussein later lashed out at "agents of Iran and Zionism" in the courtroom and vowed to "crush your heads."
Abdullah, 29, gave the chilling account during the trial of Hussein and six others for their roles in Operation Anfal, the 1987-88 campaign to suppress a Kurdish revolt in northern Iraq during the final stages of the war with Iran.
Hussein has insisted that the crackdown was directed against Kurdish guerrillas who were allied with Iran in the 1980-88 war.
If convicted, Hussein and the other defendants could face death by hanging.

Senator Rockefeller should have to sit int he same cage as this man for 24 hours. Then he could speak with authority as to whether we'd be safer with him still in charge.

fact of the day ...
Although it's quite well known that Saddam was a big fan of Mark McKinney's head crushing on "The Kids in the Hall" few are aware of his secret crush on openly gay Scott Thompson.

Such a sweetheart, isn't he? Wonder what the Audobon Society thinks about this? (One of those weird synaptic convulsions that my brain has once in awhile). Any way, bear with me. Some years ago, the AS asked the military to stop this little training cadence in their boot camps:
Saw a bird with a yellow bill
Sitting on a window sill
Coaxed him in with a piece of bread
Then I crushed his little head.
My group session is tonite.

Sure Saddam was a brutal dictator, there were torture chambers, children starving, and endless war, but Baghdad had a kick ass cable company! Round the clock reruns of Kids in the Hall and SCTV! Who knew?

Well I gotta give Saddam this: He sure knows how to use words.
Remember these words from the fall of 1990: "We will pluck out your eyes! We will burn the soil under your feet!"
Yeah. That worked out well.
I hope the Iraqis roll over this effer in a very heavy truck. Hanging is way too good for Saddam.
