Hussein is on trial, but he and his attorneys aren't even in the court room?
Should make a conviction easier, I'd think. Weird sh*t.

BAGHDAD (AP) — The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's genocide trial threw the former leader out of the courtroom Monday in a stormy session boycotted by his defense team.
"I have a request here that I don't want to be in this cage any more," Saddam said, referring to the court. He waved a yellow paper before he spoke to chief judge Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa.
Al-Khalifa snapped back: "I'm the presiding judge. I decide about your presence here. Get him out!" He pointed to guards to take Saddam out.
