#1 "Saddamâs trial would open up common wounds"
Sometimes you have to open the wounds to drain the pus.
It's time to start putting these bastards on trial,trial by Iraqis.

#2 I suspect we've been waiting for the June 30 hand-over so that the trials can be done under Iraqi sovreignity. And, as we release these mutts to the Iraqi authority, there will be no issue of Geneva Convention protection -- they've been repatriated to a civilian authority who will now try them for war crimes.

I agree with the thrust of the article -- getting the top 20 Ba'athists in the docket in efficient trials (no Carla Del Ponte nonsense) will help focus Iraq and the Arab world on what happened, and why.

#3 Except we can't institute the death penalty until an Iraqi government is in place.

Of course, they could always release him, publicly, in the Kurdish region.
