why do we never hear about the Saddam 'trial' from the MSM anymore?

[Blue_Tires]

it's been going on for awhile; what's the deal?
what has he said in his testimony?
and honestly; how hard is it to convict someone like him of something, anything that a trial would take this long? (provided of course, that there is some evidence to convict)


When will a verdict be coming? or is it just a show trial, and everybody involved is hoping the general public will forget or cease to care after enough time has passed?

1. It was in the news last week

same old same old

[Jim Sagle]

2. Maybe w got bored with the trial and had him killed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Iraq was mostly peaceful under Saddam, wouldn't want to draw attention

to how bad things are under our occupation after ousting him, would we?

[Erika]

4. Saddam kept the factions under control n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Yes he did.

[Breeze54]

5. Huh??

I hear about it on my local news daily...
they're in recess for two weeks....
maybe that's why? :shrug:

[Hissyspit]

14. Yes. It doesn't help when the judge quits.

And all the lawyers are getting offed. It is turning into quite the circus.

[Blue_Tires]

16. i guess that is the case

with so many attorneys/witnesses and judges being removed or replaced

[Yupster]

7. The Prosecution is still going

I don't know if he will testify in his own defense or not. I get the idea that time is still far away. They seem to sit for a few days and then take a few weeks off.

[Blue_Tires]

15. i guess that's my point

those in charge don't seem to be in any great hurry to turn those wheels of justice...

[Blue Shark]

8. Because it is an irrelevant circus compared to the ...

...new atrocities supplied by BushCo.

[Sperk]

9. my friend says..."that's NOT him"

who knows, maybe Saddam is in some villa somewhere...that's ususally where old used up tyrants end up.

[snowbear]

10. I think it's being delayed once again for 2 weeks..

At least that's what I thought.

But yeah, you guys are right. The whole thing has been a complete JOKE.

[Erika]

11. Yeah, it's a joke

When was the last time any Iraqi talked about trying him?

It's our issue, not theirs.

[ConcernedCanuk]

12. Embarrassment maybe? under Saddam Iraq was controllable

.
.
.

Under Bush and Gang?

NOT

[Chipper Chat]

13. If Iraq fractures into 3 states

the Sunnis would probably be happy to have him back as president. Wouldn't that be ironic?

[Erika]

17. The Iraqis simply show no will or intensity to try Saddam

Like I said, it seems to be our issue, not theirs.

[RagingInMiami]

18. The only time I hear about it

Is when he storms out of the courtroom or makes some other aggressive gesture. Other than that, it's like nothing is going on. Not even in the buried pages of the newspaper.

[whathappened]

19. ah yes good old saddam
