An October trial with visual aids and victims would be nice.
Nor is it the complex matter the NY Times is trying to portray. The police state over which Saddam presided was unbelievably monstrous. We were treated today to a story told by one of his victims of an entire bus-ful of political prisoners thrown to hideous deaths in a pool of acid, one at a time. The enormity of these crimes will make Abu Ghraib look like the pitiful charade it is - and the Times will not like its favorite Bush flogger shown up.
The evidence in this trial will be utterly horrifying and impossible to ignore, but I am afraid that is precisely what the world media will attempt to do.
