I think the Iraqis will be all too willing to pronounce sentence and judgement on Saddam without us getting our hands (ethically) dirty over this. A public trial and then likely execution. Torture won't be necessary but I wouldn't be against handing out old shoes for the Iraqis to use in carrying out their rebuke. In fact, I think the coalition should have a shoe drive for those destitute Iraqis who can't afford shoes.
But Bush has the right approach here. His crimes primarily are against his own people. Let them try him and exact punishment. All we have to do is hand him over at the appropriate time and supply the evidence we've compiled. I have confidence the free Iraqis will do the rest.
Anyone remember Calciescu (sp) in Romania? I suspect we'd have a scene similar to that.

There is no question in my mind that he will be tried by the Iraqis.

Personally, my fantasy is from a dynasty change in ancient China: the losing empress had her hands and feet chopped off, and spent the rest of her life in a pig sty.
