Saddam Ends Hunger Strike...After Missing Lunch

Saddam is no martyr. His hunger strike lasted exactly one meal:

Saddam Hussein ended a brief hunger strike after missing just one meal in his U.S.-run prison, a U.S. military spokesman said on Friday.

The former Iraqi leader had refused lunch on Thursday in protest at the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen, but the spokesman said he ate his evening meal.

I'll be he heard that Cindy Sheehan was going to start a hunger strike and he didn't want to risk being associated with that loon.
