(2003-12-18) -- Saddam Hussein will likely plead 'not guilty by reason of insanity' in his upcoming war crimes trial, and should soon be allowed unsupervised outings from the mental hospital, according to a psychologist.

"Anyone who would order the killing and torture of hundreds of thousands of people is, by definition, insane," said the unnamed psychologist. "Just like John Hinckley, Saddam deserves therapy and medication, not scorn. In a few years, he should be allowed to visit family and friends without having a guard hover around."
