In Iraq, the trial of Saddam Hussein continued Wednesday with a fiery, lengthy speech from the deposed Iraqi president. At one point, Saddam Hussein condemned the recent bombing of a Shiite shrine in Sammara and sparred with the presiding judge. Saddam Hussein went on to urge Iraqis to stop civil violence and focus armed attacks on foreign troops. After over 40 minutes of the defiant speech, the judge ordered all journalists out of the court.
