Saddam's Hearing
"Defiant Saddam Rejects Court, Charges
When he was ushered into the court, the judge asked him his name and twice he said, 'I am Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq.'
When the judge asked whether he understood his rights and could afford counsel, Saddam pointed his finger at and asked whose jurisdiction the court was under.
Saddam challenged the judge on the invasion of Kuwait, saying: 'How could you say that? I did that for the Iraqi people ... how could you defend these dogs,' he said, referring to the Kuwaitis.
'This is all a theater' designed by President Bush, whom he called a criminal, to win re-election, said Saddam, looking around the court with a half-smile during one outburst.
Bush on Thursday had no reaction to that comment, according to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan."
But really, does Hussein have a chance in hell?
