Ravenstorm 0 Posted November 13, 2005 1,100 Saddam defence lawyers withdraw, saying they have insufficient protection. I couldn't believe that 1,100 lawyers work on Saddams defence, who the hell is paying for them... I imagine they are on some sort of Legal Aid programme that will no doubt prove to be exceptionally expensive and allow the ones who survive to retire to less dangerous climes.

honez 79 Posted November 27, 2005 Lots of people may remember S. Hussein as "the bastard that used chemical weapons on the Kurds," or as a US Army report put it... "Iraq has possibly employed phosphorous chemical weapons against the Kurdish population." What a bastard Hussien must be--using White Phosphorous (WP) as a weapon indeed. Didn't he know that WP is only allowed to be used by the good guys? The same weapon the US admitted it used in Falluja; the same weapon it used in Vietnam. The same weapon the US called a chemical weapon when Iraq used it, but not when they did. See here for a good write up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted December 6, 2005 Another of Saddam's old cronies has died. Mohammad Hamza al-Zubaydi, one time Prime Minister of Iraq, and the Queen of Spades in that infamous pack of cards.

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 8, 2005 They don't celebrate Christmas in Iraq do they, so the trial will probably not be postponed over the festive season. Which is good - it means a quicker route to his execution.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
