And the farce continues---

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi court trying Saddam Hussein appointed a replacement on Monday for the chief judge, who tendered his resignation last week, the chief prosecutor in the case Jaafar al-Moussawi told Reuters.

Kurdish judge Rizgar Amin would not attend the next hearing on January 24 and Sayeed al-Hamashi, currently Amin's deputy on the five-member panel of magistrates, would instead preside, he said. The Iraqi government had yet to take a final decision on whether to accept Amin's resignation, he added.
