Always good when the judge disagrees with the one indisputable fact.
Judge says Saddam 'not dictator':
The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's trial has said the former Iraqi leader was not a dictator, but had only been made to seem like one by his aides.The controversial comments come a day after Judge Abdullah al-Amiri was accused of bias towards the defence.

Hardly matters though he will be found guilty.

Yeah, I can't see why he would be called a dictator. As a matter of fact, let's release him and put him in charge of the daycare center.

This trial defines the word sham.

Now, I agree with Nick and expect him to be found guilty.
But if he isn't... Ah, democracy on the march!
