Saddam misbehaves again
Saddam Hussein lost his temper again at the first session of his trial since December 22. Saddam had refused to come back to court until today. The new judge threw out a defense lawyer and one of Saddam's co-defendants, and they Saddam and the rest of his defense team stormed out in protest. As he left, Saddam shouted, "Down with traitors" and "down with America!" The judge apparently agreed with Saddam's decision to leave, as he was trying to eject him anyway. "I am a judge, and you are a defendant," he told the former dictator, "and you have violated order in the court." The trial is scheduled to resume later this week. For the full story, see CNN.
