It's all very pro-Saddam, if you look through the supposed impartiality. Hell, I doubt CNN would show a Western scientist declaring Saddam a hero, and other Arab leaders as evil followers of the US - but we see Al-Jazeera showing one from Egypt with that exact message.
I just hope the evidence against Saddam will be shown in full; and I would prefer it to be as graphic and gruesome as possible. Of course, by doing that, I hope the love for Saddam will be replaced by a feeling that he was indeed a very bad man. But somehow I doubt the Arab media will be showing that... Showing poor innocent Arab victims of western and Jewish agression is much more interesting and newsworthy than an "Islamic" murderer.

Exactly.
This thing is looking like its going to backfire against those in favor of a reformed Iraq. Everyone is all caught up in 'how well he looks' and how 'fierce and combative' he still is. Its been said over and over how every Iraqi has a story of how Saddam brutalized them or killed someone in their family, dumping them into the river or into a mass grave. They need to have a fast, thorough trial, convict him based on the historical facts, execute him by lethal injection, and get on with the rebuilding of their country.
