Saddam and Cheney chaos

More chaos occurred at Saddam Hussein's trial toady, as the former dictator cursed at the judge and yelled, "Down with Bush!" Saddam was wearing his slippers, and his half-brother, also a defendant, was wearing his pajamas and had to be dragged into court by guards. Today prosecutors made their strongest attempt yet to tie Saddam and the co-defendants to human rights violations, as they entered important documents and put Saddam's former aides on the stand.

I would also like to comment briefly on Vice President Cheney's hunting accident, during which, as most Americans know, he shot his friend Harry Whittington, who is now in stable condition. The accident seems to have been mainly Cheney's fault. Although Whittington failed to identify himself to Cheney as he approached, Cheney should have been aware of his surroundings before shooting. However, I don't hold it against either of them. Cheney and Whittington are close friends, and the accident was merely an unfortunate act of fate.
