Unlike Hussein's last video appearance, when he was arraigned just over a year ago, the man on a tape released Monday by Iraq's Special Tribunal appeared to be a shadow of his former self. Gone was the bluster and aggressiveness. The new Hussein had bags under his eyes, often clasped his hands and squeezed his fingers. He constantly ran his hand through his beard, which had more gray in it than a year ago. When quizzed by chief trial Raid Juhi, a man about half Hussein's age, the former dictator smiled meekly. In the video, the 68-year-old former dictator wears a dark gray suit and white open-collared shirt as he is questioned about the killings of at least 50 Iraqis in a Shiite town. The Iraqi Special Tribunal trying Hussein likely issued the video, which had no audio, to counter widespread beliefs that it is being directed by Shiites and Kurds, who dominate the government.
