THEY SHOULD PUT SADDAM IN A GLASS BOOTH!

NYTIMES/AP:

A woman testified Tuesday from behind a screen -- her voice disguised but her weeping still apparent -- that she was assaulted and tortured with beatings and electric shocks by Saddam Hussein's agents in the trial of the former president and seven lieutenants.

Later in the article:

That prompted an outburst from Saddam, who complained of his own conditions in detention. He said the court had time to listen to the witnesses' complaints ''but does anyone ask Saddam Hussein whether he was tortured? Whether he was hit?'' He urged the judge to investigate his conditions because ''it is your duty as judges to investigate the crime at its scene. ... I live in an iron cage covered by a tent under American democratic rule. You are supposed to come see my cage,'' he told Amin. ''Please, Mr. Judge, do not accept any insult to Iraq. It doesn't matter if he insults Saddam Hussein, because the Americans and the Zionists want to execute Saddam Hussein. What does the execution of Saddam Hussein matter? He has given himself to Iraq from the day he was at school and has been sentenced to death three times already. Saddam Hussein and his comrades are not afraid of execution.''

SADDAM'S OUTBURSTS/TIRADES/HARANGUES ARE OUT-OF-ORDER! IF THE JUDGE CAN'T SHUT THIS GENOCIDAL MANIAC UP WITH HIS GAVEL, THEN WHY NOT PUT HIM IN A GLASS BOOTH!? IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE...
