Saddam Trial Resumes, Then Is Postponed

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The trial of Saddam Hussein for alleged crimes against humanity resumed in a heavily guarded courtroom Monday with the former Iraqi president angrily complaining about having to walk up four flights of stairs under foreign guard. A former U.S. attorney general sat with the defense team.

After a short session during which the first testimony was read into the record, Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin adjourned the trial until Dec. 5 to allow time to find replacements for two defense lawyers who were slain and another who fled the country after he was wounded.

Oh well, so much for starting the trial again.

1. It will go on and off for a long time. Milosevic is the same way.

Psychopaths are incredibly aggressive and will do whatever they can to stop the truth. Very scary. At least these two are in a box of sorts. Will they torture those that seek the truth.

2. Saddam confronts trial judge

A combative Saddam Hussein today picked up his trial for crimes against humanity where he had left it off, making a series of heated outbursts against the chief trial judge.

Granted, some of this may just be arrogance and show, but what about the onset of Altzheimer's?
