A defiant Saddam Hussein pleaded innocent to charges of murder and torture as his long-awaited trial began Wednesday in Baghdad, with the one-time dictator arguing about the legitimacy of the court and scuffling with guards. The first session of the trial lasted about three hours, and the judge ordered an adjournment until Nov. 28. Saddam and his seven co-defendants could face the death penalty if convicted for the 1982 massacre of nearly 150 Shiites in the town of Dujail.
