See this AP story about Saddam's comments to the tribunal that will conduct his trial.
The gems included:
-- "The deposed dictator fixed the judge with a penetrating stare and declared: 'This is all a theater by Bush, the criminal.'"
-- "'The judicial system in Iraq always represents the will of the people,' he said. 'You should not work according to the law of the occupying forces; these are invading forces.'"
-- "'How could Saddam be tried over Kuwait, [which] said it will reduce Iraqi women to 10-dinar prostitutes?' Saddam asked, referring to himself in the third person. 'He defended Iraq's honor and revived its historical rights over those dogs.'"
Saddam sounds a lot like Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and Baghdad Jim McDermott. Will publicizing Saddam's trial, and his repeated ramblings like those above, blowback against the Democrats? I hope so.
