Wow, I knew Saddam was tough... but to go to this extreme to prove a point... he is definitely one tough MOFO to be able to last this long

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein ended a brief hunger strike after missing just one meal in his U.S.-run prison, a U.S. military spokesman said Friday.

The former Iraqi leader had refused lunch Thursday in protest at the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen, but the spokesman said he ate his evening meal.

Former Saddam aides being held in the same prison had refused to eat three meals since Wednesday evening but ended their fast with the ex-president.

"They all took their dinner meal," the spokesman told Reuters.

Saddam is on trial for crimes against humanity for his role in the 1982 killing of 148 Shi'ites in Dujail. His lead counsel, Khalil al-Dulaimi, has blamed pro-government Shi'ite militias for the murder of his deputy Khamis al-Obaidi Wednesday.

I watched Syriana last night.

Brought up some very interesting viewpoints of the Middle East.

Watch it if you can.

Strange how he's on trial for crimes against humanity and ordering the killing 150 people but Bush is in to his second term as president of the USA and he's been whooping on Iraq resulting in thousands upon thousands of innocent deaths.
