Five witnesses have testified in this the fourth session of Saddam Hussein's trial. Their voices were disguised to protect them from reprisals, but the testimony they gave couldn’t be starker. They recalled beatings and horrific torture at the hands of Hussein’s security agents. But Saddam didn’t show remorse. Instead, he has shown open disdain for the judges and lawyers. Yesterday, he exploded, vowing not to return to the trial. Larry talks to Basam Al-Husseini, advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, who has been attending the trial. He also talks to Stanford International Law Professor Allen Weiner.
