No kidding, right? It's common knowledge that Saddam tortured and murdered his countrymen. Conservative estimates are that 70,000 died a year in Hussein's Iraq.

No, not by Saddam, to Saddam.

Eh? What's that? Is that the world's smallest violin I hear? Here's the real crux of this nonstory

"Good health" and "slightly wounded" are marked to indicate Saddam's condition.

"Why would he be slightly wounded a month after his arrest?" Rashdan (Saddam's attorney) asked during an interview with CNN.

"He's being abused, just like the prisoners of Abu Ghraib were abused."

However, the attorney had no proof of any abuse.

Yes, CNN - ever so concerned about the health and well-being of one of the most brutal dictators in history while in American custody.
