First day of his trial, Saddam refuses to confirm his identity...trial adjourned, whilst they work out how to get one of the most well known faces in the world to admit who he is...wtf?

He's one tricky customer he is.

In a strange way you have to admire the mad old duffers bluster don't you. He knows they'll have to play by the rules he has ignored consistently. He's just going to mess with them at every opportunity.Mad frightening dictator to comedy side show. You've gotta love it.

"Who are you? What does this court want?" he asked, adding: "Have you ever been a judge before?"

Amid some verbal sparring with the judge, the former Iraqi leader stated: "I preserve my constitutional rights as the president of Iraq. I do not recognise the body that has authorised you and I don't recognise this aggression.

and this is a classic:

"What is based on injustice is unjust ... I do not respond to this so-called court, with all due respect."
