Letter from President Saddam Hussein to the Kangaroo Court
The
Presiding Judge of the Second Trials Panel
December 7,2006
After your repeated, deliberate offenses against the defense lawyers and against
the so-called "defendants", including restraining them in order to prevent them
from saying the truth and from clarifying the realities, while at the same time
you allow other titles and parties to make slanders, such as the statement of
the "lawyer" of the civil plaintiff who argued claiming that there are ten
billion dollars which have been seized by the Americans, as if these amounts
belong personally to officials of our government or leadership, perhaps that
Saddam Hussein is the one who has the largest share or the heaviest scale, as he
tried to portray that to the public opinion –may disappointment and fie be upon
him -. When I tried to illustrate the truth and I raised my hand three times, I
was not given a chance to speak. For this, I would like to inform you that my
spirit is disgusted at such continued abuses from you and from others, and that
I cannot accept them. The spirit of Saddam Hussein has taught many how to be
proud, honored and I have raised these values in them, so I reject haughtily
attending only to be prejudiced by nobodies, traitors and sub collaborators.
Based to the above, I request to exempt me from attending the sessions of this
new mockery. It is up to you to take whatever measures you may deem.
Success is granted by Allah.
Allah is the Greatest
Fie be upon despicable
Saddam Hussein
President of the Republic
and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
