There’s more of this where that came from, punk!
Independent Online Edition > Middle East — Maybe we should give him back the country.
A relative of the new presiding judge in Saddam Hussein’s genocide trial was shot and killed in Baghdad on Friday, an attack condemned by the country’s top prosecutor as an attempt to move the trial abroad.

That’s the only way to protect our rights and freedoms in the USA.
