The Drama Begins - Act I - Scene I - directed by CIA & Bush Admin.

Welcome to the biggest stage in the world.

The Drama begins. Saddam has been brought into "his land of law". Every TV channel worth its beaming capacity, beamed images of Saddam sitting in the court and invariably tickered his few now, famouse sayings.

"It is all like a theatre."
"Bush is the real criminal"
"I am still the president of Iraq"

BBC says, Saddam was taken into a trial in a secret place (??!!!)

Now, the American drama begins. Why Saddam is brought inside Iraq now? When US & UK top level officials openly admitted that there are no WMD or chemical warfare evidance found in Iraq, Why Saddam is being prosecuted?

The US aka Iraq govt's some of the chargesheet against Saddam are the following:

Invasion of Kuwait in the 90's
Ethinic cleansing of shia muslims & Kurds.
Gassing the villages of Kurds for mass genocide.


Take each charge and try to decipher the real meaning, you end up with making Saddam a deadly criminal & US captured that criminal to put an end to the "war of terror". That's the message the US & UK wants to propogate world over. Remember, before this year end, US will face election. The Bush administration is clueless in convincing people for a revoting. The same Bush came to the power thru the backdoor seat when he was elected and the results lasts more than 3 months to announce. Such was the real state of affairs in US.

I happened to saw the interview of Mr. Saeed Naqvi, one of the senior journalist of indian origin who was there inside iraq on both the occastions...gulf war & war on terror, pre war, on war and post war. He has cleared outlined the present legal discomforts in punishing Saddam with the existing laws of Iraq. Also, Saddam was taken inside Iraq as "Prisoner of War" status. The Prisoner of War status entitles the accused to be handled before the UN representative. There are no UN reps inside Iraq today. Also, Saddam refused to sign the court documents, which in turn leads to push Saddam to sign the document. If Saddam even signs the document, it is the prosecution's duty is to prove all the allegations filed on him with documental evidance, which with today's situation, US & Iraqi representive of US govt. dont have.

Al Jazeera beamed crying women & men for Saddam's trial. If Saddam with the US way of saying is a criminal, why is the US military forces still getting bombed welcome note. Why there are daily occurances of bombing, shooting, beheading, suicide attacks, killing of solidiers.

The plot is clear. US Govt, viz, Bush, wants to tell the world, that they are not power hungry nation. They gave soverginity status to Iraq and the "forces are kept there to maintain peace". They wanted to tell the world, that they have surrendered Saddam to the same nation and to provide a transperant decision on his actions. They are clean & peace loving folks, who wanted to maintain "global peace" & "level playing field" under their guns.

The death penalty was applied in Iraq but was abolished by the US-led occupation's administrator, Paul Bremer, last year. Many Iraqi government members now want it back in time for Saddam Hussein’s trial, purely because of the fear, if he is been left alive, they will be killed by Saddam's followers.

Slightly unconnected but conspiracies speaks about the resignation of some of the top officials in CIA recently. Also, there are speculation, Saddam was kept in US custody for months to negotiate deals with the Bush administration. With the father of the present President is a business partner & political helping hand of Saddam, US dont want to leave Saddam, before he inks the deal. With the complications in the Iraqi law, and the uncertainty of the "interiem Iraqi" government, the trial will go on....and on...and on till the US elections are get over.

Legal chaos surrounds Saddam's trial

Saddam trial may help Bush re-election bid


An excerpt from the news of Aljazeera on the morning session of trail of Saddam

"What we're seeing now is nothing more than propaganda. This is for Bush's sake, for the sake of the American elections. This doesn't have anything to do with justice for Iraqis."

"At least Saddam provided us with security. We have seen nothing good from the Americans," he said, commenting on the deteriorating security situation.

"We had a better life during Saddam era," said Falih, who works at the Ramadi Education Directorate. "We want a fair trial where Saddam can speak and defend himself against the fabricated charges filed against him. Saddam used to punish only the bad people who used to destabilise the country."
