Saddam Hussein Arraigned!

Saddam Hussein was formally charged by an Iraqi court. Among the charges were allegations of genocide against the Kurds and other war crimes during the invasion of Kuwait. The account of the proceeding was bizzare. Saddam refered to President Bush as the "real criminal," the court as "theater" and Kuwaitis as "dogs." Perhaps Saddam has become a bit adled by his time in the spider hole.

Base10 likes that the affair had the trappings of the criminal justice system. It is important that Iraq show the world that it has changed and to give Saddam an open and fair trial. Which of course will not prevent him from being hanged in the end.
