Let the Show Trials Begin!

Everyone's favorite deposed dictator, Saddam Hussein (who I still see and hear as a lead character in the South Park movie), appeared today for a brief court hearing in Iraq. He was read some of the charges today, during a brief hearing at which he challenged the legitimacy of the proceedings. The Milosevic Defense, in other words. I have no doubt of Saddam's guilt (although specifically of what, I'm not sure), but I can't help but think that the proceedings against him are more political theater than true justice.
