Saddam Hussein Has Not Confessed

Contrary to earlier reports, it now seems that Saddam Hussein has not confessed to any crimes committed during his presidency.

That at least is the case according to Khalil Dulaimi, Saddam Hussein's chief attorney.

He is quoted as saying:

"There was no confession by the president and all the investigations in this case do not implicate him at all" .

Iraqi President, Jalal Talabani, had said that an investigator who questioned Saddam told him that he had extracted confessions from him and that Saddam had signed them.

This is a matter for the trial to decide.
