Saddam is depressed! Excuse me while I try to work up a tear for him. Yet MSNBC.com has decided that this is news-worthy: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6053746/

This lunatic is sticking with the defense that he was just doing what was right for his country. Here is a direct quote from the article:

“Saddam and his colleagues are not the giants that the media sometimes talks about,” Allawi said in an interview with the pan Arab al-Hayat newspaper. “Saddam sent us an oral message in which he begged for mercy. He said that they were working in the public interest and did not mean any harm.”

I wonder how many of the thousands of corpses of murdered civilians that have been uncoverd in unmarked graves begged for mercy from this animal. I find no sympathy for Saddam. I'm still hopeful justice will prevail when he is brought to trial.
