Try Not To Weep

Oh, man. Poor Saddam Hussein has self-esteem issues...

Saddam Hussein's morale has plummeted as the gravity of the charges he faces sinks in, according to the Iraqi judge who will oversee his trial.

The judge told a London-based Arab newspaper that the ousted president and some other former regime figures are facing possible punishments of life in prison or the death penalty.

The judge is quoted as saying Saddam "has suffered a collapse in his morale because he understands the extent of the charges against him."

I'll bet that picture of him in his skivvies didn't help, either.
