THIS is terrorism! (Yeah, right!)

Saddam Hussein’s trial was delayed today after the he refused to attend the session. Reports say that the trial did resume after a long delay, including a 30-minute hearing held behind closed doors. but without Hussein present.

Saddam, dressed again in a dark suit and white shirt and clutching a Quran, complained that he and the seven other defendants were tired and had been deprived of opportunities to shower, have a change of clothes, exercise or go for a smoke.

“This is terrorism,” he declared.

Terrorism?! After the terrible acts this man is accused of committing he dares to use the word terrorism to describe his treatment? The things he wants sound like luxuries to me. Does he have food to eat? Clothes on his back? A safe place to sleep? If he has all that, then he is being provided for well enough. His complaints sound like privileges to me, not rights. Maybe if he chose to cooperate with the court and show the judge some respect he would be worthy of special privileges. Right now, as far as I'm concerned, breathing is a privilege for this dirtbag.
