Hussein Trial

• July 2 -- Iraqi
Ambivalence Over "Former President" Hussein
Dexter Filkins' front-page story on Iraqi reaction to Hussein on trial focuses
on Iraqi ambivalence over their "former president": "In that way,
they said, Mr. Hussein looms like a father over an abused son. He may be a
brutal man, the Iraqis said, but he is a father still."
• July 2 -- NYT's John Burns Faces Down Hussein
Reporter John Burns, one of the few journalists who succeeded in conveying the nature of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, files a flavorful piece on the opening proceedings against Hussein and other high-ranking officials of Iraq's fallen dictatorship.
