Gateway Pundit has a really interesting post today. Here's an excerpt.
Saddam believed the lies of his fellow Baathists media and propaganda (which was directed by his defense team under the leadership of Khalil Alnuaimi), which was saying that the USA wishes to negotiate with him and that Rumsfeld wished to reinstate him to stop the violence and other such lies. Thus the court’s sentencing him to hang came as a big shock to Saddam.
The media did not report his behavior since he reappeared, Saddam's legs were shaking and he could not stand a number of times when called upon. The sources said that the video filmed for the court shows that the bailiff had to help him stand, and that he was wobbly once he stood up, and when he was spoken to he appeared bewildered and did not know what to say except invoking God’s mercy. As Saddam was escorted back to his cell he sends word to the judge Raauf asking for mercy and clemency. This information was confirmed by the court today.
...
Saddam’s behavior once he realized he is now completely defeated showed his cowardice and weakness. If this former leader is behaving in this manner then what will his followers do once they realize that their defeat is inevitable if we stay and keep training Iraqis to fight them?

We all knew he was a bully and a thug. Now it seems Saddam has shown that the old adage about bullies is true. They're all cowards underneath. Saddam is no exception.
