It would appear Saddam has put his own head on the block...

Lucifer incarnate…

Sad Saddam Hussein, a little upset today because some very bad men (in his eyes) came up with a execution order for 148 men and young boys, signed off by him and his brother, the first clear evidence presented at his trial that has been going on since early October 2005.

Saddam has actually admitted to ordering their execution, but maintains he did it legally as they conspired to assassinate their fearless leader.

Talk about a turnaround for a trial that had been widely dismissed as a farce, with the defendants and their lawyers alternately refusing to appear and delivering angry tirades in court. Finally a little credibility!

I don’t know why they just didn’t take him out back and shoot the bastard. Trying the arsehole in a court of law is a waste of time! Anyway, the new evidence, along with Saddam admitting his guilt, in a more orderly court atmosphere, also suggests the trial, which has previously come under strong criticism by Iraqi officials and human rights groups, may yet fulfil American hopes for a credible public forum on the crimes of Saddam’s rule.

Hopefully the court will quickly find him guilty, then they can shoot the bastard!
