Saddam pleads innocent, gets into scuffle

Others had mixed feelings.

Um Abdullah, a 40-year-old woman in Azamiyah, couldn't keep watching the trial and went out grocery shopping because "I had chills" being reminded of Saddam's era.

Still, "it hurt me a lot seeing the strongest leader inside a cage. I was thrilled when he showed those agents that he is still Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi president," she said.

A too-busy President Bush did not watch, even as the White House hailed the trial as a key step in Iraq's transition to a functioning democracy.

The prosecution of Saddam could be a lengthy process.

The Dujail case is the first of up to a dozen that prosecutors plan to bring to trial against Saddam and his Baath Party inner circle for atrocities during their 23-year rule.

Rizgar Mohammed Amin, 47, the presiding judge of a five-judge tribunal overseeing the Saddam case, conducts the trial held under tight security in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone in Iraq October 19, 2005. Saddam Hussein defiantly challenged the legitimacy of the U.S.-backed court, but then entered a plea of not guilty as he went on trial on Wednesday for crimes against humanity committed two decades ago.

The trial took place in the five-story marble building that once served as the National Command Headquarters of Saddam's feared Baath Party. The building in Baghdad's Green Zone — the heavily fortified district where Iraq's government, parliament and the U.S. Embassy are located — was ringed with 10-foot blast walls and U.S. and Iraqi troops, with several Humvees and at least one tank deployed outside. U.S. soldiers led bomb-detecting dogs around the grounds.

The courtroom resembled a banquet hall with six crystal chandeliers dangling from its ceiling. A short verse of the Quran in huge golden letters adorned the wall behind the judges' bench. "If you judge amongst people, judge justly."

The eight defendants sat in three rows in a pen of white iron bars that stood at about neck high as the men sat on their black chair. Saddam was in the front row — directly in front of the five judges.

Saddam often slumped low, leaning on his elbow, or glanced behind him at the visitors gallery on a balcony, where many officials from Iraq's new Shiite and Kurdish-dominated government sat. The ousted leader smiled often and made comments to his co-defendants. Near the end of the session, he asked for a yellow pad and jotted down some notes.

The silver-haired presiding judge, Amin, in turn, kept up a steady, calm demeanor throughout the session's often combative atmosphere. He agreed to return traditional headdresses for several of the defendants, who complained about their embarrassing bareheaded state after the garments were apparently seized by security. Many tribal Sunni Arabs consider it shameful to appear in public without the checkered scarf, tied by a cord around the forehead.

The identities of the other judges remain hidden to protect them from retaliation, and they did not appear on camera. The panel will both hear the case and render a verdict.

Amin read them their rights and the charges against them and told them they could face execution if convicted. He then asked each for his plea, starting with the top defendant.

"Mr. Saddam, go ahead. Are you guilty or innocent?"

"I said what I said. I am not guilty," Saddam replied quietly.

Amin read out the plea, "Innocent."
