Trivializing Saddam's trial

"The New York Times reports that Saddam Hussein's trial has been adjourned until the 21st of the month, which makes it after Iraq's December 15 elections. One reason for the delay is Saddam's outbursts in court. Saddam once more succeeded in being in control.

The Times' reports that Saddam charged the event was "a theatrical play which they call a trial." The story continues:
"But it was Mr. Hussein who seemed most attuned to the theatrical potential of his trial. He repeatedly stole the floor from the witnesses and the judge, who let him veer far from the subject, seemingly mesmerized by the performance.""
