#2 Thirty years later when the final appeal to the high sharia court of petty folly in the caliphate of Belgium is exhausted, the sentence of bad things (reduced from original sentence of death due to human rights concerns over the impact of a death sentence upon Saddam's sense of self-esteem) will be suspended because of humanitarian concerns for the poor health of Saddam and the psychological damage that the administrator of the sentence might possibly suffer if required by the caliphate to inflict the evil torture of incarceration upon an old man. The court will order Iraq to pay the 15 billion euro tab for the court costs or else face the most severe admonishment.

#3 Speaking on the BBC's Sunday AM programme, lawyer Abdul Haq al-Ani, who says he is authorised to speak on behalf of Saddam Hussein's defence team, said he had no evidence that any of the deposed leader's former colleagues would testify against him. He said the trial had no jurisdiction as it had been set up by an occupying power which was not entitled to change the legal system of an occupied country. "Saddam Hussein is entitled to a fair trial. This won't be a fair trial because it has been created to fit the offence," he said.

Wonder how much Saddam is paying this legal team. The defense sounds like it was created by a random word generator. On the other hand, some of it sounds very original, if humorous.
