Saddam?

Prosecuters seeking to convict Saddam Hussein for war crimes made a significant breakthrough after Tariq Aziz, a former foreign minister and a close ally to the former Iraqi president, agreed to give evidence against his boss.

According to The Sunday Times, Aziz reportedly agreed to “co-operate fully” with American interrogators in return for leniency. Until this deal, Aziz was threatened to face the death penalty.

I don't know. Is testimony in return for being spared the death penalty any more reliable than testimony coerced under torture?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
