The lords of Tienanmen would have an interest in minimizing Saddam’s crimes. Remember the film HERO, which, however ravishing, pushed the message that the country needed a strongman, to which all other interests were subservient.

He should just be taken out & shot, like the Ceaucescus. (Altho I said this to an Egyptian blogger, the divine Miss Mabrouk, who said ‘The difference between the European East & the Middle East is Dostoyevsky.’)

This morning of Fox there was some UN prosecutor {she looked about 12] who was opining on Saddam’s trial.

She said that Saddam might very well say that the killings of the 150 Shia in his first charge were in fact executions, not unlike the executions carried out by Governor George Bush.

I thought, gag me.

I mena really…gag me.

Why did they adjourn until November 28? Is it to give everyone time to put together their cases or what?

I think the MSM will ignore the trial. Even though they are “glad he is gone” they will never support the trial and conviction of a US enemy.

The MSM, if it had its druthers, would turn Saddam into Jimmy Carter in his cardigan bemoaning the malaise of the USA. Just a poor helpless soul trying to do his best.

“Look for more of this santizing from many nefarious corners throughout the trial period.”

You mean like CNN?

Of Saddam and his kite flying and other domestic policy interests, Natl. Security Archive, via American Future. Of Mao, a review of Chang and Halliday's just published Mao: The Unknown Story, nothing is sanitized and it's well sourced and referenced.
