Saddam to be caged like an animal during his trial..

Cage for beast Saddam By JOHN TROUP
and ALEX PEAKE

SADDAM Hussein will be forced to sit in a Hannibal Lecter-style cage during his trial.

Top-secret photos of the Baghdad courtroom being built in readiness for the deposed Iraqi dictator’s impending day of judgment are in The Sun today.

The centrepiece will be the reinforced metal cage, similar to the one used to house cannibal Lecter — played by Sir Anthony Hopkins in 1991 movie Silence of the Lambs.

Specially vetted Iraqi workers are currently putting the finishing touches to the courtroom under the watchful eyes of US troops and British private security personnel.

It is being built inside one of the disgraced tyrant’s palaces deep inside the Iraqi capital’s Green Zone.

A source told The Sun: “The security at the court is going to be immense.

“When he’s in his cell he will be under 24-hour surveillance by security staff who will watch him from behind a toughened glass shield. (read More...)


The Ice Palace Notes...

Just one more question, can we hold a lottery to see which Iraqi can stand outside his cage during the trial and throw peanuts at him?

One more quote of note:

"...He is said to have ten Iraqi lawyers and as many as 25 foreign lawyers ready to represent him."



Foreign lawyers? No doubt amongst those being French lawyers assigned by Jacque Chirac and Koffi Annan. After all, they need to protect as many of the millions skimmed from the beloved U.N's Oil for Food fiasco as they can. And of course let us not forget the ever-present totalitarian apologists' apologist,
Ramsey Clark, always on the ready to defend America's enemies.
