Saddam Hussein’s trial has begun. As of 7am EST Wednesday, you can tune into any news channel and see idiots say “spider hole” repeatedly over near-silent tape-delayed footage.
Doofus on MSNBC explains that the tape delay is “in case there’s a outburst or something… or a security incident.”
No explanation for the 1/20th volume behind them so far, or news of whether the Iraqis can actually watch it.
