It's almost worrysome to see the way Saddam still talks and acts throughout all that he knows is going on. I think he's a threat, still. The fact that he still responds to Iraq as 'his country' and that he is leader is a worry. That propoganda, albeit small, is enough to fire up his supporters, and we don't know what they plan to do.
In my opinion, I don't think the media needs to keep replaying everything he says. That's exactly what he wants.
