I remain concerned that, as yet, we have not been presented with evidence that traces the chain of command and establishes the specific role of each defendant. |
It is notable that the judge has succeeded in getting (the defendants) to address the issues in the case to greater degree. |
It's the kind of information necessary for a trial like this. They are attempting to make a link. |
The is a positive step because it strengthens the ability of the defense to be effective. |
The testimonies we have heard so far are moving but they are not enough and that's causing us concern. |
These kinds of trials are generally trial by documents, especially as you go up the chain of command. |
This is totally new for the Iraqi legal system and these are not just any old trials. |
What we saw today was not Saddam admitting guilt, but admitting to the fact that he acted in accordance with his official duties and powers. |
