Saddam Hussein "I Have Been Beaten"

[Trichome Creator]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Saddam Hussein launched into an extended outburst at his trial Wednesday, alleging he had been ``beaten and tortured by Americans'' while in detention after a witness testified that his agents had tortured people by ripping off their skin.

The trial's chief prosecutor said that if American-led multinational forces were abusing the former Iraqi leader, he would be transferred to the custody of Iraqi troops.

``Yes, I have been beaten, everywhere on my body. The marks are still there,'' Saddam told the court after sitting quietly listening to testimony. ``And I'm not complaining about the Americans because I can poke their eyes with my own hands.''

Saddam said other co-defendants - his half brother, Barazan Ibrahim, who had been head of intelligence, and Taha Yassin Ramadan, a former vice president - were beaten by their American captors.

Does anyone really give a shit? :confused:

Well if we beat their guys we are being hypocrits. I don't think they should be beaten, it sets a bad image. Get the most accomplished with the smallest display of force. The only situation in which I would change my mind is if it was Batman and a couple of jedis beating Saddam's ass... That would just be awesome.

It's too bad that our people get beaten, but their people should be beaten on
occasion I guess. Not their women and children, but the assholes that are
blowing up buildings and people, yep, those people should die. :)

I know we're aggravating them in their own country, but they should see
that them blowing up people and things isn't helping their own problems.

Yes, but do his actions justify anything that we might do to him?

I'm thinking no. You can't fight fire with fire... it only creates more fire.
