| Saddam not giving much information |
| 2004-03-17 |
| Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein is not giving up much useful information under interrogation but he is talking to his captors, a senior U.S. official said. Asked whether the United States was getting any "worthwhile intelligence" from Saddam, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said in an interview on a Philadelphia radio station: "I occasionally see the debriefs and he’s a pretty wily guy, and he’s not giving much information I’ve seen, but he seems to be enjoying the debate." If he enjoys the debate, he’s really going to love the trial. |

| #15 Anti-war is really "anti-consequences", wanting to save Saddam for a pardon later. If he was in Saddam's shoes, he'd want that, so he advocates it for Saddam. Anything can happen if Saddam is alive. Yeah, there's a good chance he'll stay in jail, alive, pampered, better fed and treated than the people HE treated, but there's still a chance, a remote chance, if he stays alive. If he's dead, no chances left. All gone. Game over. Finished. Done. Finis. No more hope. Anti-war can't stand that, since he sees some of himself in Saddam, and so wants to spare him that, to indirectly spare himself. FOAD, pious fraud. |

| #13 Prison for life is what needs to be done with Saddam. See I don't love him like some of you think I do. Go to Baghdad and try enlisting some support for this idea from the Iraqi population. Be sure to set your expectations very low. And don't try to convince people that life imprisonment is better than killing the guy; they'll probably come to the conclusion that you really do like him. |

| #5 Saddam's trial: Prosecutor: "Are you Saddam Hussein, former ruler of Iraq"? Saddam: "Of course!" Jury: "Guilty" Judge: "I sentence the criminal to death by hanging." |

| #4 not sur this is gonna be the same as the Milosovic trial,no dumb Euro court system, somehow i think the Iraqis will be a bit sterner and he won't be able to rally support behind him like Slobo has |

| #3 Don't worry, he will. (Can't find the link right now, but I remember OldSpook posted a description of how "coercive interrogation" works a couple months ago. 'Nuff to give ya the creeping willies, it was.) |
