In the latest delay involving the Saddam Hussein trial, Tuesday's court session was postponed five days because a number of witnesses were not able to attend, a court official told CNN.
The court said some witnesses had been abroad attending the Hajj, the annual Muslim holy pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, that ended earlier this month.
This is the latest delay in a case that has had just a handful of full trial days since the proceedings began three months ago.
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey, a member of Hussein's defense team, told CNN he believed the delay actually was "because the judges couldn't agree on what to do, because they put in new political people, because there's pressure on them."
I hate to say I told you so but, you know, I kind of did!
By the way I still say that Saddam will not be convicted of any serious crimes. And he may very well walk. I actually hope I am wrong about this!
