Trial judge: Hussein was not a dictator

The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's genocide trial said Thursday that he does not believe Hussein was a dictator.

Judge Abdullah al-Amiri made the remark in a friendly exchange with the deposed leader, a day after the prosecution said the judge should step down because he is biased toward the defense. Hussein and his co-defendants are being tried on charges of committing atrocities against Kurds in northern Iraq nearly two decades ago.

Does justice exist in Iraq? Are we letting a Fox guard the hen house? Is the judge more worried about his own skin, afraid, or just part of a new crop of oppressors?

Absolute nonsense...... He needs to be removed from the case for biased thinking that borders on the dellusional.... If he has security concerns, he could be keeping his opinions to himself.

Well we believe in the right of freedom of speech and i would never want that right taken. So i would say stop focusing on the trial and worry about the hundreds of american citizens who are doing jail time but our innocent. Sometimes as America we try to play Enforcer and aply equality and justice to everyone but do we have it in America? I think we need to focus on America and once we are perfect then i feel we can look upon other countries with sympathy.
