I don't think they'll have a problem trying Saddam for crimes against humanity. And you seem to know a lot more about what was presented than the article says. Do you have a link?

"Prosecutors who want to make a name for themselves, tend to over-charge defendants."

A gutless prosecutor would not have charged this POS with murder.

Charge a defendant for the evidence, not for "maybe the jury will 'see' it this way."

"Crimes against humanity" mean to some people, crimes against the world --- yet as we have seen, a majority of Iraqis do not regard Saddam's crimes as being against the world; rather, they regard his crimes to be specific, against a couple "Arab neighbors" and against the Iraqi people --- mostly, murder.

Charge him with murder, and you'll get the death penalty, and keep him a little POS that all dictators' rank, they work so hard to earn.

Make the charges notorious and ridiculously large, and that will make a big man out of him, which is exactly what the terrorists want.
