Saddam Hussein was beaten up during questioning after he made an obscene remark about Shia Muslims, a source close to the investigation has claimed.
The former dictator is being questioned by investigative judges before his trial resumes on November 28.
An Iraqi lawyer briefed by investigative judges in the Iraqi High Tribunal said Saddam had made the obscene remark when asked about attacks by Iraqi forces on the shrines of imams Hussein and Abbas in Karbala in 1991.
Two of the court's clerks stopped taking notes and attacked Saddam, pummeling him with blows.
The source claimed Saddam's American guards were amused by the incident and did not intervene.

I bet he tried to used TigerHand or Pen Missle!!
should have thrown his @ss from a 3 story building, or broken his legs, or hacked off his arms or any of the other innumerable atrocities he dealt out daily to his own people. Typical schoolyard bully syndrome - oh, those people hit me, burn in hell Saddam.....
Well of course not, they're not stupid, they knew how much trouble they would have got into if they would have handed their weapons to the clerks.
ShoeShine-Boy should call upon Slck protect him from this torture and abuse since he has now stated publically it was wrong to invade Iraq!<P
Maybe he was, and maybe he wasn't.
But if he was I cry no tears for a mass butcher being blooddied a bit.
I leave tears for the U.S. Congress.
Yeah, no joke. Looks like even sacrificing a couple of Saddam's lawyers wasn't enough.
Ha, that's a first... Look at our post times(my previous post). Wonder how many milliseconds I was before you?!!
100 points for each direct hit on the Hussein family jewels.
I hope they got some good licks in.
After that pos used to feed his own countrymen feet first
into shredders just to be amused by their screams...
And had his sons rape and murder 12 yr old children....
for their amusement...
Who cares if he got a little comeupance...
Hopefully he will soon hang for his crimes....
imo
Now that must have been a sight!!
This "news" item is manufactured for the purpose of inciting religious and sectarian violence.
Better put some ice on that.
This reminds me of the time when he was dicovered cowering in his spider hole. He started ranting and raving to one of the servicemem and the good soldier knocked him senseless with his rifle butt. Became as meek as a lamb after that.
"The source claimed Saddam's American guards were amused by the incident and did not intervene."
As Perry might say, 'Strike that! Calls for an opinion, yer honor. Tainted source.'
Is he still conscious? Yes? Hit him again.
