Kudos to the photographer
Because let’s admit it, y’all, this is a great shot:
The man behind Saddam Hussein is his half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti. The photograph catches them just as they’re vigorously objecting to the testimony of a witness hidden behind a curtain.
(“Fears of retribution by Saddam loyalists forced the court to shield the witnesses’ identities. Witnesses are allowed to have their voices altered to hide their identities from the defendants, media and people in the visitors’ gallery — but not from the judges or attorneys,” sayeth the article linked from the above picture.)
