Blogging Saddam's Trial

Iraq the Model covers it because the MSM won't.

The first witness was 15 years old in 1982, he said that he was arrested along with his parents, 8 brother and six sisters and he spoke in detail about his story from the time Saddam made his speech in Dujail till the time when he (the witness) and some of his family were released from prison in 1986 and I say “some� because this man lost 7 of his brothers during those years at the hands of the brutal regime.

... Then he began describing how he and his family were interrogated in the Baath Party HQ and here he pointed at Barzan (Saddam’s half brother) and said that “he was in charge of the interrogations� and accused Barzan of giving orders to kill his brothers. Here Barzan yelled “to hell with you and your brothers!�.

The butcher lost control over himself and starting shouting only to be silenced by the judge, then some of the lawyers began complaining from someone who apparently was whispering threats at the lawyers or staring at them!

Again, Barzan lost control and started cursing and spitting at someone in the upper section of the hall, supposedly the same person who was threatening the lawyers; this person’s identity wasn’t revealed but the judge ordered security to get him out.

Plus, Ramsey Clark wouldn't shut up about "sovereignty" and the sanctions that killed five million children.

It's up to five million now. By the end of the trial, it'll be eleventy-three bazillion.

Thanks to Fred.
