| #7 Where's she getting the money? Whatever she has should be confiscated and returned to the Iraqi people from whom it was stolen. |

| #2 A) Okay.....so the invasion of Iraq was illegal....therefore we have to give the country back to Saddam? Is it just me, or after reading that, does anyone else think, "You and what army, pal??" B) Is his wife's last name really Allah??? |

| #1 Al-Rashdan and Mjalli are expected to base their defence on the legality of the US-led coalition’s occupation of Iraq, under which their right to hold and try Saddam also comes into question. While I'm no Alan Dershowitz, I think this is an extremely lame defence, especially since a) I see no 'international law' that forbids armed conflict between two countries and b) it'll be Iraqis that will be running the trial. Nice try. Come again. |
