I'm just waiting for him to hire Mark Geragos as his attorney.

Now really though. Don't the Turks feel kinda stoopid? They dragged their feet during the war, and now, oh horrors, Hussein may have been captured due to the intelligence of the Kurds! How embarrassing!

Betcha we could find a room for him it the nice scenic town of Florence Colorado.
Would be ironic if he ended up in the same cell Timothy McVeigh used to occupy.

[Cicero]

Sure, I think we can offer him a deal. As long as he keeps talking and giving us useful information, we can postpone his trial and execution.

The toothless World Court in The Hague, which is the spawn of the toothless United Nations, does not have a death penalty. The Iraqi Ruling Council outlawed the death penalty as one of their first acts because they wanted to prevent another leader like Saddam Hussein from arising and executing 100s of thousands of people. (Those toothless wonders apparently belief someone like Saddam Hussein would follow the law!) So the first beneficiary of the law to proscribe Saddam Hussein II is -- a blare of trumpets please -- Brappp!! -- Saddam Hussein I.

"If it does emerge that most of the information that led to Saddam's arrest did indeed come from Kurdish sources, this will probably boost their status with Washington."

This fool still thinks with a tribal mentality - You don't "boost your status" in this country by finally getting around to doing something that helps yourself out.

[thoughtomator]

Sure make a deal with him... and keep it as honestly as he kept his, after we know all we need to know.

[MinuteGal]

Hah.....the aftershave isn't even dry on Saddam's chin yet, and already the creative media has President Bush thinking of playing "Let's Make a Deal".

This ain't gonna happen....we'll find the WMD's anyhow.....and Saddie's next and only deal will be with the Devil.

Speaking of incarcerated despots, whatever happened to Manuel Noriega? Last time I checked, he was in the Federal slam someplace. He still there? What's his disposition?

[Mr. Mojo]

If it takes a deal to get Saddam to sing about both the whereabouts of his WMD and his ties to Al Qaeda (and 9/11), then I say cut the deal. Getting that info is infinitely more important than seeing Saddam hang.

[arasina]

I heard he will give information if they name a city in his honor: Kahrbahm.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I wonder if we will be able to bluff the Syrians into believing that Saddam spilled the beans on some WMDs going across the border. If we start massing troops in western Iraq, maybe Bashar Assad will get the message and come clean.

[Ron in Acreage]

Dean will offer him the Veep spot.

[claudiustg]

The death penalty is not optional here. Try him and hang him
His capture could not have happened in a way that would be much more demoralizing and humiliating to the jihadi crowd.

[nvcdl]

I would have to assume Sadam will be given truth serum and induced to talk without a deal.

[ladyinred]

He should tell where the WMD are for sure, but no deals! Did he offer deals to the millions of his people and ours he murdered in cold blood?

[Eastbound]

I think it would be a mistake to make a deal. We'd never get the full story. Instead, wait a few months and let it be known that he is going to talk for a deal. That will allow those down the chain of command to come forward on a plea. They would no doubt be more thorough and detailed and would be more willing to spill their guts, thinking that Saddam is going to tell all anyway, including naming those involved in the storage, development, location, movement and plans for the use of WMD.

[reed_inthe_wind]

Saddam can now be used to sweat out any conspirators. The Syrians could be getting very nervous if they have the missing WMDs.

[mrobison]

Saddam will die. I guarantee it.
