Judge in Saddam Trial Murdered

A judge on the special tribunal that will put Saddam Hussein and members of his former regime on trial was assassinated Tuesday in the Iraqi capital, according to an Iraqi police official and a media report.

Judge Barwez Mohammed Mahmoud and a relative were killed Tuesday in northern Baghdad's Azamyiah district, the official told The Associated Press early Wednesday on condition of anonymity.

And how did the bad guys know who to hit?
Why, Robert Fisk, Mr. "I'd beat me up if I were you, too.", outed the poor man last July in Britain's Independent!
We can only wonder, with this kind of "cooperation" from the 4th Estate/5th column, what took the Baathists and Zaqarwi's boys so long?
Rest in peace, Mr. Mahmoud--I'm sure you were a good man.
