My own instinct is to say that I would rather die a quick death than spend the next 40 or 50 years in a small solitary room with no faclities, eating crap food and having maybe an hour a day to do some minor activity, knowing that it'll be the same for ever more.
I'll bet there's a part of Saddam that wishes he had been shot dead instead of being captured and put through the humiliation of a trial.
