Nose to nose with Saddam
KPCC's Larry Mantle aired an interview this morning on "Airtalk" with Basam al-Hussaini, an Iraqi-American from San Dimas who confronted Saddam Hussein during a break at the first day of the deposed leader's trial in Baghdad.
“I told him he had killed my brothers. I told him he was a coward, he was a dictator. And I asked him what was the reason he killed so many people. He said, ‘because I am the President of Iraq’. And I did tell him to shut up. It was kind of nice…I wish I had a gun to take care of business right then.”
