Ah but he made the trains run on time

While CNNI debated the legality of concealing a witness' face, here is the LATIMES (reg required) article on her testimony...

"... All five of the witnesses who testified today, including two women, did so behind curtains, their voices digitally altered to prevent them from being identified. Each painted a similar picture of the former regime's brutality.After Witness A and her family were rounded up, she said she was taken to the Hakemiya, a notorious Baghdad prison run by Hussein's elite security forces. She and other young women were thrown into a special dungeon, she said, where they slept on the floor and used their shoes as pillows. "I was lost," she said, as the stone-faced defendants watched or looked away. "They threw me into a small red room. There was no light. Everything was red. From a small window they gave us two loaves of bread. After all that torture, do you think we can eat?" After some days she was taken to Abu Ghraib prison, where she described horrifying conditions. Lice crawled on prisoners scalps. She and other prisoners used napkins for clothes and pieces of cardboard as shoes to stave off the winter cold. Bathrooms were outdoors and if children exceeded five-minute limits there, they would be beaten. "They struck my younger brother with cables 50 times," she said, breaking down into tears. "God is great." After each witness testified, defendants and defense attorneys pointed out inconsistencies and vagaries in their statements, underlining the prosecution's challenge of trying a case based on hazy decades-old memories of victims..."
