OK, so these images are everywhere, but I thought I'd just put my oar in and mention how ridiculous this all is. The trial of Saddam Hussein was barely minutes old before it ground to a halt because he refused to confirm his identity.

So he's managed to prolong his life for another few months while he chops and changes lawyers and continues to protest his innocence - or more correctly, his right to do what he did.

I wonder how many people - when it eventually happens, which it will - will watch his execution.
