WHO IS TRYING SADDAM?

Saddam and his co-defendants are being tried before what was originally called the Iraqi Special Tribunal, established in December 2003 by U.S.-led occupation authorities.

2. Not the right people and not in the right manner
He will not be allowed to present enough in his defense, even though he is tough to defend. I'm sure Donald Rumsfeld and the BFEE will see to that.

Death becomes him and that is this regimes "new democracy" in action.
:freak:

3. He is being tried by the Iraqi government
Generally a person can be tried for crimes against humanity or war crimes by his own government, or if his own government is unable or unwilling to do so, by the international criminal court at the Hague.

Although the Iraqi government is a puppet of the US, it is the Iraqi government, not the US, that is trying Saddam.

4. So you are saying that Americas once Iraq puppet (Saddam) is now being...

...tried for his misdeeds while he was Americas puppet by Americas brand new Iraqi puppet government.

That is what you are saying isn't it?

I can hardly until Americas next Iraqi puppet government puts the current puppet government on trial for something.

This is sounding very circular.
