BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The chief judge in Saddam Hussein’s genocide trial said Thursday that he does not believe Hussein was a dictator.Judge Abdullah al-Amiri made the remark in a friendly exchange with the deposed leader, a day after the prosecution said the judge should step down because he is biased toward the defense. Hussein and his co-defendants are being tried on charges of committing atrocities against Kurds in northern Iraq nearly two decades ago.
Questioning a Kurdish witness Thursday, Hussein said, “I wonder why this man wanted to meet with me, if I am a dictator?”
The judge interrupted: “You were not a dictator. People around you made you (look like) a dictator.”
“Thank you,” Hussein responded, bowing his head in respect.
Now you just KNOW that has a lot of Republican panties tied up in knots! hehehe
UPDATE! In poking around Technorati, checking out tags and such, I’ve discovered MANY conservative (and I use that term loosely) blogs have already gotten said panties all up in knots… pulled tight… choking off blood circulation to their brains in a big way!
