Saddam: I Killed 180,000

From News.com.au:

FORMER Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has admitted ordering the attack that killed more than 180,000 Kurds, an official of the Iraqi Special Tribunal said yesterday.

Not only did he admit ordering the attack against Kurds in the north of the country, but he boasted that the killings were legal and justified.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, said Saddam made the statement last month during questioning.

He goes on trial before the tribunal on October 19.

Naturally, his lawyers are trying to weasel out of it, but I really think Saddam is one of those guys who is proud of what he's done. In the end, I can see Tom Cruise getting Saddam to scream out in court that he ordered the Code Red.
