EXCLUSIVE: First interview with tyrant Saddam since capture
http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/story_pages/news/news3.shtml
PUDDIN' IT ON!
By Paul Martin & Maria Wera Cedrell
FALLEN tyrant Saddam Hussein has spoken out for the first time since he was caught cowering in a foxhole in Iraq.
As he stands trial for vile crimes against humanity, we can reveal the former hardman has been reduced to a pathetic whinger in jail, who whines that he doesn't get custard with his apple pie.
Saddam, who tortured and butchered an estimated 300,000 of his own people, now spends his time scribbling bizarre, rambling poems.
The ex-dictator—who gassed thousands of Iraqis and strung up the bodies of executed opponents outside their family homes—even lashes out at the International Red Cross for not arranging enough visits from his relatives.
"They're not doing their humanitarian job," he stormed.
And, despite the fact that photographs of him clambering out of his hole in the ground were beamed around the world after his capture, Saddam now claims there was never any such hiding place.
Twisted
"There was no hole in the ground or anything of that sort," he said. "I was caught when I was preparing to pray at dusk."
The Butcher of Baghdad's twisted version of reality came to light during ten hours of interviews with his defence lawyer, Khalil al-Dulaimi.
During one session Saddam desperately puffed on 12 of the lawyer's cigarettes while moaning: "The cigarettes my family sent me have almost run out."
Then he bleated: "I haven't seen sunlight for more than a year.
"I live in a 12-square-metre room and I'm allowed out for one and a half hours twice a day to stroll in a five by ten-metre hall.
"There's a hole in the roof of that hall—this is the only access to the outside environment."
Although he said he gets enough to eat, Saddam is not happy with the prison puddings—and he is furious that he's not allowed to shave.
He has been denied razor blades amid fears he could kill himself or attack prison guards. But that's not how Saddam sees it.
"They want me to look ugly and mad when they put me in court," he whinged. "But they'll never break me."
The lying tyrant claimed he was in Baghdad for most of the time that he was on the run from allied forces in 2003.
He said that men from his own army and Ba'ath political party had betrayed his whereabouts in Tikrit to American troops.
And he claims that when he was captured in December 2003, he would have fought back if only he'd had a gun nearby.
Deluded
But however courageous he claims to be, Saddam was petrified about going under the knife for a routine hernia op in jail.
He said: "They wanted to operate on me, but when the surgeons came I refused to have any anaesthetic. You can't trust the Americans."
He also refuses to let the authorities clean his clothes: "I do the washing myself," he says. His lawyer explained that Saddam fears that even his clothes could be poisoned if they are cleaned by prison guards.
The deluded dictator also says he is behind the suicide bomb atrocities that have killed hundreds of civilians and servicemen since his capture.
He claimed: "The Iraqi resistance has prepared itself in a proper manner. The second phase of the battle started on April 8th, 2003 (just three weeks after the war began). I met with politicians and the military commanders and ordered them, ‘Start with the second phase'...
"So what is happening now is not a coincidence and not a reaction but something planned for a long time before the war."
Sickeningly he added: "I really enjoy the sounds of explosions I hear now and then."
Chilling
He also urged insurgents to keep fighting, with the chilling order: "You must concentrate all your fire on the Americans and their allies. Make their life hell."
Saddam has already condemned his people to a painful and bloody struggle for democracy with death on Iraqi streets a daily event.
Two of the lawyers representing the evil tyrant and seven of his henchmen have been murdered in the past two months and Dulaimi also claims to have survived two attempts on his life.
Now, says his lawyer, Saddam spends most of the time in his cell reading a book that his family sent him called "Don't Get Sad."
Try telling that to the thousands whose loved ones were slaughtered during his 24-year reign of terror.
