...with 1:53 left in the second half. Those would be the last points scored in regulation.Trailing from the start and by as many as 13 several times in the first half, the Big Green kept inching closer in the second.

His heirs, the despicable Uday and Qusay, were killed while fugitives in Iraq. Two years after his arrest, Saddam was put on trial for war crimes before the newly re-constituted Iraqi High Tribunal. In November he was convicted of genocide for ordering the executions of 148 men and boys in response to a 1982 assassination attempt in the town of Dujail. The Dujail trial introduced witnesses and an extensive document trail that...
