Iraq Judge Spin: Saddam Down in the Dumps
Bump and Update: Armando at Daily Kos notices there's a lot more news lately about Saddam, and wonders why. I think it's because his trial is supposed to begin in two months. It is curious, as Armando notes, that the quote about Saddam's spirits comes from a judge. Judges don't pay house calls to inmates, even in Baghdad. So who leaked this information? Is it part of an orchestrated campaign that began with the undie photos?

This is just laughable. The Judge in the trial of Saddam Hussein says his spirits have sagged in recent months as reality sets in.
"The ousted president has suffered a collapse in his morale because he understands the extent of the charges against him and because he's certain that he will stand trial before an impartial court," [Judge Raid] Juhi was quoted as saying.
What self-serving propoganda. Does anyone really think Saddam believes his trial will be impartial? His lawyer, by the way, says his spirits are high.
