#1 This one deserves a gas chamber. I'd keep a loaded shotgun aimed at him just in case there's any security breech, but that's just me and it would probably violate his "basic rights" or "international law" or "French sensibilities" or something.

#2 I wonder if they'll recognize the "legitimacy" of the worms that eat him.

#5 Or the Marsh Arabs, or the southern Shi'a where he ruled, or... Hell, he has so many "constituencies" it's not fair that all shouldn't get a piece of him... The William Wallace treatment?

#6 Way cool. Things are about to be evened up.

To paraphrase a famous legal/judge joke: I hope they give that mudering bastard a fair trial.

#7 Re 4 & 5

Frank, .com, come up with one more properly aggrieved group (how about the Kuwatis?) add 4 ropes and have a tug of war. The winner gets to have their way, in the case of a tie whoever has the biggest piece wins.

#8 Good idea, AlanC - but the Kuwaitis chose Door #3 (the cash), heh.

#9 How much coverage do you think the evidence against him will get in the US press?

I'm betting none. However, any stunts pulled by him or his defense will get wall-to-wall coverage.

#10 Not the gas chamber. Reciprocating saw.

#11 Put him in an electric chair turned to "trickle charge".

#12 Was hoping they would start with Baghdad Bob.

#13 They should try him in the Kurd province, in an open place, with no protection. The trial would be over so quickly, it would save public money and take bread and butter from the MSM.
