Saddam’s ally, Tariq Aziz, switches sides

From The Times

PROSECUTORS seeking to convict Saddam Hussein for war crimes believe they have made a significant breakthrough after Tariq Aziz, the former dictator’s right-hand man, agreed to give evidence against him.
Aziz, now the star witness, is understood to have agreed to “co-operate fully” with American interrogators in return for leniency. Until he made the deal Aziz, the former deputy prime minister and the only senior Christian member of the regime, was facing the death penalty.

Aziz is now expected to testify that Saddam was personally responsible for war crimes, including the slaughter of thousands of innocent Kurds and Shi’ites. In 1988 5,000 people died in a single day in the Kurdish town of Halabja after a gas attack which Saddam claims to have been an accident.

little marc the pathological liar,

PLEASE come back... we were having SOOO much fun showing how much you lie in your childish posts at NewsHounds.us.

You throw out lies, and then tuck tail and run. You are a girLIE man...

Bet you just HATED this news piece...

Judicial Watch had requested in August that the Navy open an investigation of the matter, but Route said in an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press that he saw no reason for a full-scale probe.

Especially after all your crowing about the Navy investigation... you know, the one that was never approved...
