Well there's a surprise............not.
I think a lot of ATS people already knew this guy was never going to get to trial.

damn... I was hoping for an oj style american media extravaganza at his trial...

I believe they gave cancer to John Gotti why not Saddam?

Isn't Saddam's cancer typically from exposure to chemicals? After seeing the atsnn.com coverage of Saddam's cancer, a friend commented on this relative's cancer which was tracked back to his work as a chemist.

Since Saddam was the ruler of Iraq, I don't see how he could have been exposed to many/any of his military's chemical agents as he likely wasn't sitting around with them a lot. I don't know much about his days as a chemist, but I'm sure he hasn't sat around many chemicals for a while. Doesn't mean thats not the reason.

Perhaps the depleted uranium waxing of Baghdad from Desert Storm did him in, or perhaps Jack Ruby was correct about being shot up with cancer by the government to kill him.

Boy this comes as a suprise

I`m really surprised that he made it there up to his arrest, to be honest he will died in a few weeks!
