Iraqi guards at Saddam Hussein’s trial manhandled a defense lawyer from the court on Monday…
Lebanese attorney Bushra Khalil, a vocal presence in previous televised appearances for the defense, yelled in protest and threw off her robe as she was bundled from the chamber.

At the start of the hearing, Khalil had objected to her ejection from court in a previous session. After the argument with (Chief Judge) Abdul Rahman rose in pitch, he ordered her removed from court and described her behavior as “an insult to justice.”
Female lawyers disrobing as they are manhandled! Boy, things have changed in Iraq in a hurry!

British officials said they expected all foreign combat troops to withdraw from Iraq within four years, as British Prime Minister Tony Blair flew into Baghdad to show support to its new government on Monday.
It was the firmest statement yet from one of the two main allies in the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein on a date for pulling out troops from Iraq. Washington has said it is too soon to discuss such a timetable.
