Saddam to be caged like an animal during his trial..
Cage for beast Saddam By JOHN TROUP
and ALEX PEAKESADDAM 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.

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.
