Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News led off the Tuesday March 1
\nnewscast with an \"exclusive\" that the presiding judge in the trial of
\nSaddam Hussein had been assissinated. Although a judge was
\nassassinated, it was not <\/i>the lead judge in the Saddam case. Oops.<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, nearly everbody has blurred out the lead judge's
\nface and never referred to the lead judge by name. But NBC,
\nbelieving that the lead judge was dead, aired footage of the judge without <\/i>his face blurred. Double oops.
\n<\/p>\n
So now, anybody who saw that newscast knows what the judge who will decide Saddam's fate looks like.
