رسالة من السيد الرئيس العراقي صدام حسين
 الى ما يسمى المحكمة الجنائية

letter from President Saddam Hussein

By the Name of Allah, the Most Magnificent, the Most Merciful

The Presiding Judge of the Special High Criminal Court

The Court lacks the lawful proceedings that are well established in international and Iraqi laws.  For this reason, it seems that there is an outstanding intentional intent to convict us due to the existence of a malicious American desire which is complied to by the degrade collaborators in Iraq on the consumption that they will keep us away from the policies and issues of our country if we were convicted in crimes against humanity.  You know and all the others know that we have not become rulers of Iraq by political or financial means, and that we were not brought to the office of power by their aircrafts an tanks but by our and our great people's will and in accordance with the awareness, historical desire and decision of our people in sequent referendums.

America and its collaborators are deceiving only themselves and will not deceive our people or the public opinion.  For this, we will not attend the trial proceedings which are scheduled for the 10^th of July, 2006 and we hereby notify you in accordance with the position of law.

Saddam Hussein

President an the Commander-in-chief of the holy fighting Armed Forces
