NYT Update on Saddam

Here's the headline:

Hussein Thinks He Will Get Death Penalty but Sees Escape Hatch, His Lawyer Says


Here's two sentences from the article:

Yet Mr. Hussein refuses simply to submit to the fate that awaits him, Mr. Dulaimi said, for he believes there is a way out. According to Mr. Hussein's logic, President Bush will use the court's sentence as leverage to try to persuade him to tamp down the insurgency, so desperate are the Americans to stanch their losses. Mr. Hussein believes the Americans might even reinstall him as president of Iraq, his lawyer said.

"He'll be the last resort; they'll knock on his door," Mr. Dulaimi said, tapping a pair of gold-rimmed glasses against his knee. "The United States will use this sentence to pressure Saddam to save it from its mess."
