Saddam trial delayed

The headline on Yahoo’s home page says the Saddam trial has been delayed until Dec 21.  I’m beginning to think there is a strategy to all of this on the part of the defense.  Saddam is undefendable in a traditional sense-the evidence of his crimes is pretty overwhelming.  So instead of even trying to defend him, they are focusing on turning this court into a circus, destroying its credibility.

 

I understand why we are having Iraq handle the trial of Hussein, but at the same time, there had to have been a better way of doing this.  This continued act by Hussein and the judge’s failure to control it is only going to weaken the Iraqi courts.
