#4 Although defendants previously refused to occupy Saddam’s former seat at the front of the dock, his cousin and one-time defence minister took the hot seat.

The court readjusted the seats, lining them up in three rows with Majid and Hussein Rashid al-Tikriti, former deputy chief of operations in the armed forces, in the front of the dock.

wow, I wonder? Verlaine was just saying 2 or 3 days ago he would try and get Saddam's chair removed from the court room!

heh give us a shout out Verlaine.

#6 So what does he have around his neck?
At first glance it looks like a toilet seat with tire tracks on it, but in reality it is the Offical Ba'ath Manila-Resistant Anti-Chafe Wrap.

#7 Judge Roy Bean: Do you have anything to say before we find you guilty?
Sam Dodd: I'm not guilty of nothing. There's no crime that I've done wrong.
Judge Roy Bean: Do you deny the killing?
Sam Dodd: I do not deny it. But there's no place in that book where it says nothing about killing a Chinese. And no one I know ever heard a law on greasers, niggers, or injuns.
Judge Roy Bean: All men stand equal before the law. And I will hang a man for killing anyone, including Chinks, greasers, or niggers! I'm very advanced in my views and outspoken.
Sam Dodd: There's no place in that book that...
Judge Roy Bean: Trust in my judgment of the book. Besides, you're gonna hang no matter what it says in there, 'cause I am the law, and the law is the handmaiden of justice. Get a rope.
