Saddam Hussein was forced to attend his trial Monday, looking haggard and wearing a robe rather than his usual crisp suit as he shouted "Down with Bush." His top co-defendant struggled with guards bringing him in and sat on the floor, his back to the judge, for much of the session.
After the stormy start, prosecutors put on the stand a member of Saddam's regime for the first time and produced documents, trying to link the former Iraqi leader directly to torture and executions that allegedly took place in a 1982 crackdown in the Shiite town of Dujail.
But the witness, Ahmed Hussein Khudayer al-Samarrai, the head of Saddam's presidential office from 1984-1991 and then again from 1995 until the fall of the regime in April 2003, insisted he knew nothing about the events in Dujail.
Saddam entered the court on his own, stood in front of his chair and shouted, pointing a finger, "Down with Bush".
