I wonder if Blair and Clinton are going to be called to the stand.

It would tickle me endless if they start going into the details of how Saddam got hold of the chemical and biological weapons in the first place.

I note, however, that the chemical attacks on Iran are not amongst the accusations....I wonder why....

Actually it is only "live". A however long delay has been put in place on the video so that the people in charge can "edit out any embarressing or inciteful material". So this basically means that anything that is remotly interesting or could explain something to us has been edited out so we won't see it 😠

So, what we have is a show trial, carefully orchestrated and censored to ensure the regime is not embarassed by any revelations made in court. Yet, supposedly transparent.

Are we talking Nazi Germany, Communist Russia or something organised by the "greatest democracy on earth"? God save America.

And, yes, I think Saddam is a murderous scumbag. The other guys are not much different, though.

Probably a long enough of a delay just in case of Saddam having a "wardrobe malfuntion".
