Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

Defiant Saddam pleads “innocent”
Of course … and not without the usual drama ensuing:
Saddam replied quietly, “I said what I said. I am not guilty” referring to his arguments earlier in the session.
Amin read out the plea, “Innocent.”
The confrontation later became physical. When a break was called, Saddam stood, smiling, and asked to step out of the room. When two guards tried to grab his arms to escort him out, he angrily shook them off.
They tried to grab him again, and Saddam struggled to free himself. Saddam and the guards shoved each other and yelled for about a minute.
It ended with Saddam getting his way, and he was allowed to walk independently, with the two guards behind him, out of the room for the break.
The trial will resume on November 28th.
Michelle Malkin has a roundup of links which take note of the Saddam-friendly press coverage the former Iraqi dictator has been receiving from our very own MSM.
More at Captain Ed’s.
ST reader Fat Tone emails this link to a posting from Omar at Iraq the Model dated December 9, 2003 that is well worth reading (or re-reading, if you’ve already read it) in light of Saddam’s impending trial.

Sis,
Can you imagine the the catatonic attack in the Left, the “human rights” organizations, and the MSM the moment Saddam’s body swings under that hanging post before the world’s cameras?
I wonder how they will defend him…
Should have been a courts martial and hanging in a week.
This man is one of the most despicable people ever born. It will be amazing to see how the left defends themselves when the prosecution brings forth 1000 families that will talk about the evil this man has done. The MSM will be doing all it can to suppress the news about the trial, much like they did with Slobodon Miloshivek’s trial. Whatever news does get out, it should be cast in a different light. Like Dan Rather talking about the forged documents and how the “spirit of the documents” remains true. Yet they don’t realize just how much of a joke they have become. I have waited a very long time for this trial. I say it is time for the Iraqi people to get their payback, and when this man dies for his crimes against humanity, I do hope it brings hope to those same people. – Lorica
