Sadam's verdict

There’s an interesting article by Robert Frisk which highlights the hypocrisy underpinning the whole affair:

‘So America’s one-time ally has been sentenced to death for war crimes he committed when he was Washington’s best friend in the Arab world. America knew all about his atrocities and even supplied the gas - along with the British, of course - yet there we were yesterday declaring it to be, in the White House’s words, another “great day for Iraq”.’
