OSAMA, ON THE OTHER HAND, FILED CORRECT PAPERS: Because it's a slow day at the office, I was flipping through today's Supreme Court Order List. Because it's the first one of the term, it's lengthy. I was taken aback by one order on page 3:
"In Re Saddam Hussein--The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis without an affidavit of indigency executed by petitioner is denied."
Important practice note--even deposed dictators must follow the rules of procedure. The AP has more details about the case, which was apparently filed by a DC attorney who has never met Saddam. Not sure why the attorney's not paying the $300 out of his own pocket.
