2. AP: Saddam Hussein Removed From Court Room

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein's trial quickly fell into chaos after its resumption Sunday, as the former Iraqi leader was removed after shouting "Down with the traitors!" and demanded to leave.


A co-defendant was dragged out and a defense lawyer was also ejected.

The new chief judge in the trial, Raouf Abdel-Rahman, had sought to show tough control over the court, but the session — the first in a month — fell apart quickly.

After about 15 minutes of the session was aired, the delayed transmission was cut off just before the shouting erupted.

3. Another Great Demonstration of "Democracy In Action"

This regime has done more to set back the concept of due process, universal sufferage, equal and civil rights and self determination...the basics that make the Constitution such a guiding light...in this part of the world.

Try asking a wingnut what their "endgame" is now. Are they happy that Hamas is in control in the West Bank and the Shiite/Iranians in control of Iraq? Now what?

How any verdict can be rendered in this trial is beyond me...even a mistrial is a joke.
