Saddam’s spawn Raghad Hussein (Yes, that is her real name. And no, I will not make the obvious spelling error) has conducted an interview with an Israeli journalist. In it, she reveals that she has inherited many of her father’s qualities.
Like lack of remorse:
“My only request is that my father get a fair trial”, Raghad Hussein, daughter of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussen, told Israeli journalist Dafna Barak in an interview published today by the London based Arabic-language daily al-Sharq al-Awsat.

Raghad also praised her two brothers, Udai and Kusai, who were killed by US forces about a year ago in Mosul. She said that her younger sister Hala has yet to recover from their death. “They fought till the last moment. I am proud of them”.
She told Barak, “I cannot answer personal or political questions. I am the daughter of Saddam. You wouldn’t understand. I have a commitment since I carry his name and he needs my help now. After the death of my brothers, I am the only who can do it. My friends expect me to help him”.
A deluded sense of reality:
“I am proud of my father’s appearance in court…He’s a brave hero.”
And a virulent anti-Zionist anti-Semitic attitude:
Raghad complained to Barak that her father’s lawyers were requesting exorbitant fees, and she expressed a desire to hire an American lawyer. Barak then suggested a few names, one of them Jewish-sounding. “Excellent, but he’s Jewish”, responded Saddam’s daughter. “You must understand that my father would never allow it. I don’t judge people, but I cannot cooperate with Jews“.
Except Israeli journalists?
