Show trials

The events at Saddam Hussein's trial have gone from bad to worse. It shows the inability of this special court to handle the defendants. It seems every time there's an outburst, it gets shut down for a week and half.

Anyone care to wager who's trial will last longer - Saddam's or Slobo's? (For those of you keeping track, Milosevic's trial is pushing the four year mark.)

At the rate Milosevic's trial is going, he'll be dead before there's a ruling as to wether or not he's guilty. Wouldn't it be ironic if Milosevic dies before a ruling, and they rule "not guilty"? Years of court sessions, being held in jail would have all been for nothing.

Seriously, these tribunals, special courts, or whatever they're calling them are nothing but a show and a waste of money.

BTW: If the UN is trying Milosevic, are they paying the court costs? Where does that money really come from?
