Hidden Witness

The trial of Saddam Hussein continues today, with the first hidden witness testifying.

The witness, a woman (called witness A), addressed the court from behind a screen in order to protect her identity.

However, there were technical problems with the equipment used to disguise her voice; the court then had to recess whilst the issue was addressed.

She said that Saddam's security forces had taken her brother and broke his arms, his legs, and then shot at his feet.

The trial continues.

This whole trial is riddled with constant problems and always will be. Why? The people behind this ruse of a trial don't want it to go forward. This Saddam is an imposter. It was confirmed there were 10 or so Saddam imposters; his wife and children say it is not him; his eyes, teeth and mannerisms are different. Why does a man who is clean cut all of this life decide now to have a beard?? Does anyone even think it possible we are watching a big show???

I wonder if there is any website that enable viewing Saddam trial, especially if it's in Arabic.

Any idea?
