Four orange whips!
Trust me on something: when "Saddam sees lawyer for first time" constitutes a front-page headline, the actual trial is going to be a massive circus. Massive.
The media has been quietly gearing up for this ever since the invasion of Iraq. Saddam goes on trial--just imagine the potential. He'll say outrageous stuff, lawyers on both sides will say outrageous stuff, the judge will say outrageous stuff, and the punditocracy will hold an international hyperbole & metaphor abuse contest.
No one will come out of this looking good I'm predicting. Basically, imagine the O.J., Kobe, and Scott Peterson trials all rolled into one. Then toss a psychopathic megalomaniacal genocidal deposed delusional dictator into the mix. Fun for the whole family!
