Saddam Hussein shouted Tuesday that he will not return “to an unjust court” when it convenes for the fifth session of his trial Wednesday. As the end of the session, when the judges decided to hold a session Wednesday, Saddam suddenly shouted: “I will not return. I will not come to an unjust court! Go to hell!” Saddam also complained that he had no fresh clothes and had been deprived of shower and exercise facilities. “This is terrorism,” he said.

In a world where the humiliations of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay are considered torture, it only makes sense that dirty clothes constitute terrorism. Still, terror victim Saddam looks like he’s doing much better than when he was pulled from the rathole.

Considering the store received tons of bad virtual press and several hundred crank calls, there may be less sincerity than necessity behind the apology.
