SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Defendant Barazan Ibrahim, Saddam's half brother / Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin and prosecutor (no name available) BARAZAN: (starts off camera over pictures of judge and later continues over pictures of prosecutors listening) "Why, why, your honour, the gentleman, the three gentleman suffer from a complex (meaning they are ashamed of belonging to the Baath party). The man in the centre was a high ranking Baath party official, the other two were members of the party too. Why do they consider this a complex?" JUDGE interrupts: (over pictures of Barazan) "What's this got to do with the case?" BARAZAN replies: (partly over pictures of prosecutor smiling) "Because we are Baathists, they want to put pressure on us to declare them innocent." JUDGE says: "You can write this down." (over picture of prosecutor smiling) BARAZAN continues but he's interrupted: (over picture of prosecutor smiling) "Moreover, they are now... " PROSECUTOR: (over pictures of other prosecutor) "This is the biggest insult to me in a court session, to be accused of being a member of the bloody Baath party." BARAZAN: (starting off camera): "You were an agent of the secret service." JUDGE: (off camera over pictures of Barazan) "How could you accuse..." PROSECUTOR: (over picture of Barazan) "Not with the intelligence service." BARAZAN: (on camera) "The three of them where agents of the secret service." JUDGE: (off camera, over picture of Barazan) "Sit down." BARAZAN: (on camera) "And I know their numbers, your honour." PROSECUTOR: (starts off camera, then on camera) "This is the biggest insult to me in a court session, to be accused of being a member of the bloody party." BARAZAN: (off camera over picture of prosecutor) "It is the party which you should be honoured with, it is not a bloody party. It is the party of democracy and justice. The party of high moral values." JUDGE: (off camera over picture of prosecutor sitting down) "Enough, enough." 3. Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein listening 4. Judge listening 5. UPSOUND: (Arabic) Saddam Hussein, defendant and former Iraqi president: "This interruption by the prosecution... it is the defence's, and the defendant's right to talk to the witnesses." 6. Pan from Barazan addressing court to prosecutors STORYLINE Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein has again insisted at his trial in Baghdad on Thursday that he has been beaten by his American captors, calling Washington's denials of abuse lies. In the kind of theatrical exchange seen throughout the trial, an assistant prosecutor asked to resign and the defence team threatened to leave court. Saddam's half-brother and co-defendant, Barazan Ibrahim, who was head of Iraqi intelligence during the Dujail killings, had a heated exchange with prosecutors, accusing them of belonging to the Baath Party, Saddam's former party, and the secret service in an effort to discredit them in the eyes of Iraqis. One assistant prosecutor threatened to resign over Ibrahim's allegations, but the judge wouldn't allow it. "The biggest insult to me in a court session is to be accused of being a member of the bloody party," he said. The former Iraqi leader and seven co-defendants are on trial for the deaths of more than 140 Shiites after the attempt on Saddam's life in the town of Dujail, north of Baghdad.
