Actually, as I typed it, I was thinking of an interview Jon Stewart did with right-wing propagandist William kristol, but "if the cap fit..."

RE: The TRIAL OF SADAAM H

Has anyone else thought that maybe...just maybe... the U.S. has one of the six other 'Saddams' and the real one is hanging on the beach in Grand Cayman drinking a marguerita? Now THAT would be a wonderful blow to the U.S.R. and solidify their 'credibility' in the eyes of the world :twisted:

As a matter of fact, I was reading something to that effect. That the guy we see on TV is not Saddam being tried. Hard to prove but it is possible with the US game planning.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen shot two lawyers defending Saddam Hussein's co-defendants in a trial for crimes against humanity on Tuesday, killing one and slightly wounding the other, police and defense team sources said.

The attack followed the murder of another defense lawyer who was shot the day after the trial started in Baghdad on October 19 and was certain to stoke controversy over whether the former president can get a fair trial amid Iraq's daily violence.

The defense team had already threatened not to turn up for the next hearing on November 28 unless measures are taken to protect them.

Police and defense team sources said Adil al-Zubeidi was killed when the two lawyers' car came under fire in the western Baghdad district of Hay al-Adil, while Thamer Hamoud al-Khuzaie was wounded.

Both men were on a team defending Saddam's brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan, legal sources said. Khuzaie was among the lawyers who appeared in the televised trial sitting at the same front bench as Janabi, lawyers who know both men said.

In last month's attack, Saadoun al-Janabi, representing another of the eight defendants, was kidnapped from his office and shot by armed men who local people said identified themselves as employees of the Interior Ministry on October 20, the day after his court appearance at the start of the trial.

The government has denied involvement in Janabi's death but the killing renewed accusations of sectarian violence involving government forces and pro-government Shi'ite militias ranged against Saddam's fellow minority Sunni Arabs.

IRAQI FORCES HIT

The latest high profile assassination came as bomb attacks aimed at Iraqi security forces killed at least nine people the day after a suicide car bombing claimed the lives of four U.S. soldiers and their Iraqi translator.

As U.S. and Iraqi troops pushed ahead with an anti-insurgent operation near the Syrian border, violence continued unabated just over five weeks before December 15 elections Washington hopes will set Iraq more firmly on the road to peace and democracy.

In one of the worst of Tuesday's attacks, four Iraqi soldiers were killed and a fifth critically wounded when a bomb blew up near their patrol car in the small town of Dali Abbas, northeast of Baghdad, police said.


with all this chaos , how is this to be a "fair trial"??? Wrong location.......and under the wrong legal system for something like this. Why is it that the u.s. has to fecking make a mess out of just about everything now?? How can anyone take this "trial" seriously??? ...... one cannot.

The trial of Saddam Hussein is a tasteless joke, and a tasteless joke is just what the U.S. under Bush has become. A gang of illegal invaders cannot set up anything but some laughable kangaroo court that has no basis in law. The international court is the only venue for this trial but Bush and his cronies would also have to stand trial for their crimes and face the same punishment.

The US is determined to have Bush be indicted in Iraqi court so Saddam does not have a chance to open his mouth about the what he knows. He will be tried and killed in Iraq.

I really don't understand why Saddam is on trial anyway.

Like George Jonas, I think trying the man simply exaggerates his importance. We all know what he did. We all know he is guilty. There is no question.

He is a rabid monster.

Drag him out in a public square and shoot him once behind the ear.

RE: The TRIAL OF SADAAM H

Well Colpy no matter who the person is or what they are "alleged" to have done they are innocent until proven guilty and deserve a fair trial even though he is an evil man.

Like George Jonas, I think trying the man simply exaggerates his importance. We all know what he did. We all know he is guilty. There is no question

The same could be said about "W" and I even say "W" deserves a fair trial if he ever goes to trial for the crimes he committed.

Wow........ what you suggest is no more civilized then what he was supposed to have done. With that kind of thinking.......why not bring back lynchings, hangings , torture, barbarism etc. .........oops. forgot for a second that this is what the u.s HAS brought back and is determined to make vogue /standard again. ( btw: shame on you for even suggesting this kind of barbarism.)

furthermore.........how do you KNOW any of what you say you KNOW.........?? :roll: Nothing like a one man judge jury and executioner............. and self appointed at that. :x
