FOX News reports today that the Judge and Saddam had a “friendly” conversation during court proceedings today. The exact conversation was about how the Judge did not believe that Saddam was a dictator. After, Saddam thanked the judge. That’s nice. At least they’re getting along.

The Judge, Abdullah al-Amiri, made this remark one day after the prosecution said the judge should step down because of allegations that he is biased towards the defense. I don’t know why they would think that. I mean, the Judge only served in criminal court under Saddam’s Baath Party. That wouldn’t be a red flag at all. Oh and get this, the article later says that the judge actually asked Saddam for his permission to speak in his own court. Uhm….yyyyyeah, good times.
