BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A lawyer for Saddam Hussein urged the country's new government Wednesday to bring formal charges against the ousted Iraqi leader if it expects to put him on trial this summer.
The remarks by attorney Giovanni Di Stefano came one day after the president of Iraq's transitional government, Jalal Talabani, said he hopes to see Saddam tried within two months.
"I ask everybody, please: Can this man be charged, so we can all get on with it?" Di Stefano told CNN Wednesday. "Iraq can move on. Saddam Hussein can move on ... It is possible for decisions to be made, and those need to be made sooner rather than later."

You probably should put 'lawyer' and 'attorney' in inverted commas when talking about Giovanni Di Stefano, the only legal qualifications that he has exist in his overinflated ego...
..I ask everybody, please: Can this man be charged, so we can all get on with it?" Di Stefano told CNN Wednesday....What???...his lawyer wants Saddam hanged soon so he can go home??
Yeah, I wish they'd get on with it. They don't need to list ALL of the capital crimes, maybe just the first 100,000 would do.
I'm hoping that after his trial and execution things will settle down some in Iraq. Some of the crazies hold out hope that Saddam will return to power. Fortunately, Bush was re-elected.
LOL. Wonder if Saddamn knows how eager his laywer is to see Saddamn go to trial...
The tyrant in his tidy whities......
