Saddam to Duck Trial

Lawyer: Saddam to boycott next session

The show trial of the decade will evidently have to go forward with the presence of Saddam Hussein for a day or two. Aw shucks! Is that supposed to bother anyone because I can't say as I really care whether he's there or not.

Everyone knows at the end of this he's going to be found guilty. The only question is what sentence is going to be imposed. Everything that happens up to the day of sentencing is just showmanship on both sides.
