Not satisified reading the blurbs from the daily newspapers? Confused as to did Ibrahim Barzan, Saddam's half brother say: "I said this court is a bastard," as reported by the Washington Post or "the daughter of a whore" as reported by Yahoo News? Did Saddam yell "Long live Iraq!" or did he yell "Down with America!" or did all of these things happen as well as the latest judge in this case calling Saddam an "old man"?
Court TV has found a way to profit from this, by making "exclusive" video from Saddam's trial a mini pay per view web event. For $5.95 a month you get access to this and other trial moments.
The more I read about this trial it's obvious that the legal system in Iraq still has a long way to go, and I seriously doubt Saddam or any of those on trial are going to have a fair trial. Even under the best circumstances it would be very hard for a fair trial to happen given the amount of information most of us have heard happened in Iraq.
It also reminds me that while at times our legal system may not be perfect? We are so much better off than so many other countries where true justice is hard to find.

Oh boy! Just what I want. To watch a trial I don't understand with an interpreter who talks like he is just learning both languages. I am not a patient person. I want to know what Saddam says before he says it.
I love hearing people say that the person didn't have a fair trial when it comes to big time crimminals. I'm not talking about a balck guy in the 60s being accused of killing a white guy in the south. That would be a good example of an unfair trial. I'm talking about how the Nazis said that they didn't get a fair trial becaus they were found guilty all the while the films that showed their crimes was from their own homes.
Saddam is saying the same thing. If found guilty, he cries that he didn't get a fair trial. Everyone found guilty cries unfair trial. Only the people who win their cases say they got a fair trial. Saddam was taped with all the crap he said and did and now that he is caught and seeing the evidence that he made (mainly because he thought he would never be out of power) he is now crying foul.
Too bad, so sad. He is guilty and he should stop crying about not getting a fair trial. Dude, you overthrew a govenment and killed all who stood in your way, got rich on your power, pissed off the USA (always a good career move), and lost. You played the game and you lost!! DEAL WITH IT!
As for the PPV trial charge, I would save my money and spend it on good things, like internet porn.
To be fair cyber, we helped overthrow the government and put him in power. He was supposed to kill the king at the time buty missed so we killed the guy and gave Saddam credit making him a hero. All the rest of his actions seem accurate.
me4, just another example of not biting the hand that feeds and gives you power that you shouldn't have. ;)
I know. He just should have played ball
Saddam is a horrible person if one quarter of the things written about him are true. Yet we helped put him and keep him in office and allowed him to stay in office after the first Gulf war when people in our Government knew what he was doing. So sure he's guilty but it seems rather hypocritical to me to execute him for something we basically aided and abetted. As well as many other nations, France, Germany, Russia, the list is huge, all of these countries knew what he was doing. Sure, none of them forced him to allow this to happen yet they sure didn't do much to stop him when it met their various self interests.
