Wide shot defendants in dock STORYLINE: Saddam Hussein opened his second trial with a show of defiance Monday, refusing to enter a plea on charges of genocide and war crimes connected to his scorched-earth offensive against Kurds nearly two decades ago. The trial opens a new legal chapter for the ousted Iraqi leader, who once again faces a possible death penalty for the deaths of tens of thousands of Kurds during the Iraqi army's 1987-88 "Operation Anfal" - Arabic for "spoils of war." Kurdish survivors say many villages were razed and countless young men disappeared. They also accuse the army of using prohibited mustard gas and nerve agents, but the trial does not deal with the most notorious gassing - the attack on Halabja that killed an estimated 5,000 Kurds. That incident will be part of a separate investigation. Saddam, wearing a black suit and white shirt, was the first defendant called into the court as the trial's first session began Monday morning. When the chief judge Abdullah al-Amiri asked Saddam, "Are you innocent or guilty," Saddam replied, "That would require volumes of books." Al-Amiri ordered a plea of innocent be entered into the record.
