Poor Saddam. Turns out his treatment was pretty rough while in American captivity:
"...The tyrant and his family, who maintained their 24-year reign over Iraq by torturing and executing thousands, complained that his lockup - believed to be at Baghdad International Airport - was an American-made chamber of horrors.
"My opportunity to sleep in this place is limited and almost scarce," Saddam wrote. "I don't think there is anyone with a sensitive and humanitarian heart who can sleep amidst the screams of the tortured and the many blows of the doors and the squeaking sounds of the chairs."
Saddam whined that his "total hours of sleep did not exceed four to five hours." (NY Daily News)
Our military doesn't get half that much sleep out in the field in Iraq or Afghanistan. Did he really expect us to feel sorry for him? Yet there are people out there who will find his released statements "appalling" and will proceed to badmouth Marines and Blackwater and so on. Keep in mind these statements came from a man who systematically killed 50,000 Kurds.
