The former dictator of Iraq, confused and defiant, was presented with charges against him today in Baghdad. Arraignment will come later. Surprisingly, no bond was set.

Closure is on its way to the Iraqi people. Delusion, however, seems to be Hussein's most striking trait these days

Arab TV station Al Jazeera reported that Saddam did not want to be in court without a lawyer and did not want to sign any papers without his lawyer present. He said he wanted to be addressed as the president of Iraq, not the former president of Iraq.

Reality has not quite set in for the erstwhile tyrant. He's lucky he's called by any title that can be repeated in front of children.
