If you get a chance, try to catch Fox News' one-hour "The Trial of Saddam Hussein" special. Seeing the man and his crimes is compelling, but really it's worth seeing it just for this one exchange between the interviewer and Saddam's defense lawyer:

Interviewer: "So you're comparing Saddam Hussein to Nelson Mandela?"

Saddam's lawyer: "Yes, why wouldn't I?"

You couldn't script television this crazy. It wouldn't be believable.
