CB, I wondered about Milosevic being a lawyer and whether it was like a mutual torture challenge. They try to torture him and he does it back to them. Maybe, like Saddam, he enjoys the situation.

My theory is that Saddam is having the time of his life. How much fun is that to be at the centre of the world, taking on the USA, jerking everyone around, manipulating the situation? Most of us think differently and would not find it much fun. I guess this is his Mount Everest and if he dies on the attempt to reach the summit, that's all part of the fun and risk.

Maybe Milosevic isn't all that unhappy with the opportunity to jerk around the opposing lawyers and be on the world stage.

The worst that'll happen to Saddam is that he'll be killed. I guess that's not such a horrifying prospect to him, just as mountain climbing, race car driving and other high risk games have plenty of takers.

Re the DNA and people being freed on the evidence, several death row people have been shown to be innocent [of the particular crime for which they were convicted to death though many of them I suspect are so unsavoury that their 'innocence' is only for that particular crime].

DNA testing seems cheap enough. Any new idea seems to creep people out. I can't see how identity can be misused. The drawback is if one wishes to hide. If Big Brother is behaving, identity isn't a problem.
