A motion picture with the title "Judgment at Baghdad" could be a box office bonanza around the world if the truth were told about Saddam Hussein and his rise to power, as well as who helped him to become a murderous dictatorial monster.  This move could fall into the horror flick category, which is so popular these days, only this could also be advertised as a reality show.

All that dramatically changed when Iraq's Prime Minister General Qasim suddenly withdrew from the post in 1959 and began buying arms from the Soviets.  Then "the CIA set up a six man team under Saddam to assassinate him.  Saddam botched the job, killing the General's driver and only wounding Qasim."
