The Bush administration could very well blow the goodwill they lucked upon today in Iraq over the issue of the trial. Given their past 'bipolar' behavior, they are probably feeling pretty manic and invulnerable right now, ie., "Why should they listen to anyone, especially the IGC..."
You know, it occurs to me that many parties in Iraq are going to be pushing very hard for an open trial. Consider the Shia -- whatever their glee over the capture of Hussein, they remember who backed up Hussein in the US and hung them out to dry in the '80's (and again in the '90's). They might like to get that fact in the official record...
