At least Saddam's lawyer has a sense of humor.

"Iraq is heading now towards a destructive civil war... release him so that wounds can heal and his people unite."
Dulaimi also said it will become clear to Bush that Saddam's two-month-old trial is a farce of false witnesses and lies that should be ended. Saddam faces hanging if convicted.
"You will become convinced of President Saddam's complete innocence. His popularity gains by the day and (he) is beloved by millions of Iraqis," Dulaimi said.
