We shall soon have a new contributor to the Infidel Blog Alliance. His name is JMJ and he blogs at Fu2rman. He hasn't received his official blogger evite yet, but he is raring to go, so he asked me to post this one for him.
Gladly.
Ladies and Gentlemen, JMJ:
I've never been a big fan of Charles Krauthammer but I really think he has hit this one out of the park. Kudos to you, Mr. Krauthammer.
Of all the mistakes that the Bush administration has committed in Iraq, none is as gratuitous and self-inflicted as the bungling of the trial of Saddam Hussein."This has become a platform for Saddam to show himself as a caged lion when really he was a mouse in a hole," said Vice President Ghazi Yawar. "I don't know who is the genius who is producing this farce. It's a political process. It's a comedy show."
But there is no excusing the Bush administration, which had Hussein in custody for two years and had even longer to think about putting on a trial that would not become a star turn for a defeated enemy.
Why have we given him control of the stage?
We all remember the picture of him pulled out of his spider hole. That should be the Saddam Hussein we put on trial.The judge keeps telling him he's out of order. He disobeys with impunity, the guards not daring to intervene.
This is absurd. If anything, Hussein should be brought in wearing prison garb, perhaps in shackles, just for effect. And why was he given control of the script? He shouts, interrupts and does his Mussolini histrionics unmolested. Instead of the press being behind a glass wall, it is Hussein who should be. Better still, placed in a glass booth, like Eichmann, like some isolated specimen of deranged humanity, symbolically and physically cut off from the world of normal human values.
This strikes me as something the Far Left would produce in all their political correctness wisdom. NOT a Republican administration. Still this seems to be the new Republican conservatism for the 21st century, V 2.0!
