Saddam complains of beatings
Saddam Hussein today complained of being beaten while being held in custody by US and Iraqi custody. He seems to be able to make these complaints with a straight face even though his victims would never have come even close to being treated as well as he is being treated. The videos from yesterdays posting would support that.
On a more important note i have just finished watching series 4 of 24. My life is now empty and meaningless. I guess this blog will have to fill the massive void which has been left behind :-)

Was Hussein tortured?
Independent experts can easily verify the fact of torture. So, if Hussein lies that he has been tortured then US officials can easily prove that everything is OK. This would be a terrible humiliation for him!
But Hussein does not need to read Malleus Maleficarum to learn the logic of torture, he is a world class expert in this area. So, it is very likely that he tells the truth.
The problem is, it means that Hussein's trial has nothing to do with Western justice, it cannot achieve anything except for discreditation of the occupation. In fact, organizers of this nauseating show have nobody but themselves to blame for their historic blunder.
So, if there is any difference between Hussein's trial and Stalinist trials of the 1930-ies, it is abysmal organization. At least, Vyshinsky had a theory for this kind of "justice" and he knew how to make it work for Stalin's benefit.
