This is fine with me. Just have a Shia and a Kurd as the judges.
Say good night, Saddam...if you're still alive.

Saddam will get a much fairer trial in Iraq -- can anyone say "piano wire".

These trials have the potential to be a fine impetus for a new Iraqi judicial system based on the rule of law.
Make that lawyer who saved Private Lynch the first Chief Justice... ;-)

Hopefully, we'll find out just how much the Iraqi people REALLY 'love' Saddam once his regime is destroyed.

Say good night, Saddam...if you're still alive.That is a good question. Reports from 1991 say Saddam left Baghdad and was driven around in taxis, not limos, to avoid detection. He's like all cruel torturers, he fears because of what he has done to others. He obviously hasn't feared any god of his, but if he's alive, eternity is facing him. Good night, Saddam.

Good post, as usual.
Some of the first prosecutions may be brought by the British against two Iraqi irregulars who were arrested last week near Basra, suspected of taking part in the killing of two British soldiers.
Are the British going to overcome their reluctance to impose the death penalty?
To: MadIvan
As it should be!

Saddam might end up with no hands, no feet and no tongue, and be forced to beg moan for alms for ala in the streets of Baghdad. The Iraqi people will not have any PC crowd looking over their shoulder either.

This is absolutely, 100% what needs to happen. It would be another liberating experience for Iraq to try and punish their tormentor.

Oh, I like this. I had been worried about the issue of giving credibility to that world court travesty.

Good.
They can use the Ceausescus' trial as an example.

I'd like to see the Iraqis try Saddam. That skiffy bastard would get the Mussolini treatment before sundown on Day 1 of the trial.
To: MadIvan
Exactly right. Exactly appropriate.

We say we want this, and then we drop four bunker busters. That's a little schizoid.....
But I'm cool with that. ;-)
