A Day at The Circus

The farce of the trial of Saddam Hussein continued on Sunday, when Saddam clashed with the chief judge accusing the court of forcing him to attend.

Saddam started by accusing his jailers of dragging him into the courtroom, then called the chief judge Raouf Abdul Rahmann ignorant and insignificant.

The judge, not surprisingly, did not take this too kindly and banging his gavel on the bench ordered Saddam to be silent.

Saddam's half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti scuffled with guards as he was brought in, he then shouted at the judge before sitting on the floor with his back to the bench.

The court was adjourned when two former aides of Saddam Hussein refused to answer questions, with one saying he would never testify against his president.

A farce as usual.
