Saddam trial TV coming soon

[ECH1969]

THE trial of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will be shown on live television, Iraq's national security adviser said overnight.

The trial will show the Arab and Muslim world "that this is going to be a fair, just trial with a defence counsel in there, with a proper prosecuting counsel as well there," Iraqi national security adviser Muwaffaq Rubaie told CNN.

"And everybody will watch this trial live on television," Rubaie added.

1. just in time to move attention away from the traitors in the white house

[thebigidea]

2. yeah sure. the last time video with leaked audio hit the press...

... Saddam completely humiliated the judge and got strangely positive press. They quickly put a stop to that.

letting him rant would be very embarassing.

3. Heh, heh.

It would be nice if it got put on Court TV with interpreters.

4. Think of all the secrets he could tell

that the admin doesn't want us to know about.

Am sure Bush* and gang have something in the works to keep him from opening a big can of worms.

5. Not gonna happen....

Unless heavily edited, for reasons already stated. Not to mention the inflammation of insurgency it may cause.

Potentially way to embarrassing on to many levels.

6. Oh, delightful. Kabuki Court. Exhibit A: Drawings of WMD plants.

This will be better theater than the puppet shows in Crawford. Texas.

7. show trial; it'll be heavily censored

Whatever secrets he would like to divulge he'll end up taking them to his grave.

8. Hopefully, to be followed soon..

by the Bush trial, the Rumsfield trial, the Wolfowitz trial, the Pearle trial..

Live from the Hague..

9. Does this mean we have to listen to that Nancy Grace again? nt
