Well, yeah, it's biased. It came from Saddam's defense lawyer so I suppose it should be taken with a grain of salt, but I do think it is very possible that the release of the verdict could have been manipulated.

Nothing political is really by accident. It's all planned, and prepared before hand. I wouldn't doubt if that principle applies here.

And if you were the party in control at the time of Saddam's capture and there were elections upcoming, I think you'd probably use every tool you had to try and sway the votes. This is another one of those tools.
