Saddam immunity against persecution:-

Saddam's defence attorneys, Jordanian lawyers Mohammed al-Rashdan and chairman of the Jordan Bar Association Hussain Mjalli:

the U.S.-led occupation authority has no right to change or cancel the Iraqi constitution.

"Article 40 in the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the head of the state enjoys immunity against persecution," al-Rashdan told the Arab satellite network al-Jazeera.

"Iraq, Iraqi people, Iraqi law were hijacked," Mjalli said. "The occupation of Iraq was illegal, so ipso facto everything that follows is illegal."

Saddam Hussein, he was there
And made a magic pass
Pulled his foreskin over his head
And vanished up his ass

Old Colin Powel, he was there
And gave us all surprise
When he got his wood
'T reached nearly to his eyes

Little Georgie Bush

His thumb up his ass
Askin' "What's a cunt?"

And oh how he did beg
Couldn't get anyone to drop their pants
So he just humped their legs

WASHINGTON - Blaming what he called "lazy" reporters for blurring the distinction, Vice President Dick Cheney said that while "overwhelming" evidence shows a past relationship between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, the Bush administration never accused Saddam of helping with the Sept. 11 attacks.

Illegal measures

The panel contests the legality of the arrest of President Saddam Hussein by US occupation troops.

Al-Rashdan and Mjalli argue that given the invasion of Iraq has no legal basis, US-led occupation forces have no right to change or cancel the Iraqi constitution.

"Article 40 in the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the head of the state enjoys immunity against persecution." al-Rashdan said.

"Iraq, Iraqi people, Iraqi law, and the Iraqi president were hijacked," Mjalli said "the occupation of Iraq was illegal so ipso facto everything that follows is illegal."

Iraq's ex-leader Saddam Hussein has made a defiant first appearance before an Iraqi judge, branding President George W Bush as the "real criminal".
He defended Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, said he was still president and rejected the court's jurisdiction.

"I am Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq,"

"How can you, as an Iraqi, say the 'invasion of Kuwait' when Kuwait is part of Iraq?"

52 minutes ago The judge, who officials have refused to identify for security reasons, said he represented the Iraqi people and acted under coalition authority.

"So you are an Iraqi representing the coalition forces?" Saddam asked.

"No," the judge replied. "I am an Iraqi representing the Iraqi judicial system."

Speaking in strong tones, as if he was still commander in chief, the 67-year-old Saddam offered a bit of advice.

"The judicial system in Iraq always represents the will of the people," he said. "You should not work according to the law of the occupying forces; these are invading forces."
