Yellow Journalism

The reputable Sun of the UK has published an alleged "interview" with Saddam Hussein.  Its reliability may be in doubt, but there are some humorous moments, including a little chutzpah from the authors of the article: 'Saddam — currently on trial charged with killing 140 people in the Iraqi town of Dujail in 1982 — also heaped praise on his old friend President Jacques Chirac. Spineless French leader Chirac was dubbed “Le Worm” in the run-up to the Iraq war after failing to back allied forces invading Iraq.'

Right - dubbed thus by whom?!

We also learn that Saddam, like Boethius, can find consolation in his imprisoment and travail: 'Saddam still remains defiant about his trial which could see him face the death sentence. He gloated: “I don’t mind being killed. There will always be another Saddam”. '
