BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein ended a brief hunger strike after missing just one meal in his U.S.-run prison, a U.S. military spokesman said Friday.

The former Iraqi leader had refused lunch Thursday in protest at the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen, but the spokesman said he ate his evening meal.

Former Saddam aides being held in the same prison had refused to eat three meals since Wednesday evening but ended their fast with the ex-president.
"They all took their dinner meal," the spokesman told Reuters.

Saddam is on trial for crimes against humanity for his role in the 1982 killing of 148 Shi'ites in Dujail. His lead counsel, Khalil al-Dulaimi, has blamed pro-government Shi'ite militias for the murder of his deputy Khamis al-Obaidi Wednesday.

If you guys ever get the opportunity to dine with the Iraqi military, you'll quickly find out they don't like to miss meals. In fact, they usually would take about four take-home boxes out with them full of food after they ate each meal.

That's no like this circumstance, though. Saddam is a weak-willed, self-indulgent piece of dogshit.

While I agree with you on Saddam, our interpreter, who is Kurdish said pretty much the same thing about the Iraqi officers. Most of them were in the military when Saddam was in power.

He said the entire generation that grew up with Saddam is pretty bad.

Are you sure they're not taking it for their family? A lot of them may just be poor.
