Chained Saddam Hussein to be handed over to Iraqi police
2004-06-28
A handcuffed and chained Saddam Hussein will be hauled in front of an Iraqi judge within days to hear his arrest warrant, Iraq's national security adviser Muwaffaq Al-Rubaie told CBS television yesterday. "We're going to have control of Saddam Hussein. We're going to have two American military MPs to hand him over to four Iraqi policemen. They will put a chain (on him) and take him to the waiting room," Rubaie told CBS anchorman Dan Rather. "The judge will call his name, Saddam Hussein Majid. And they will bring him in ... open his chain, handcuff and take him to the judge and the judge is going to give him his rights and his defense and he's going to issue an arrest warrant against Saddam Hussein. "They're going to put the handcuffs on him. Take him ... controlled by Iraqi policemen."

#12  Actually, I think we should accede to the demands of the anti-war movement and release him unconditionally----on the streets of Baghdad.

#11  One of my buddies observed that we should keep it simple, bring him out to an airfield and let his people string him up on the tarmac straight away. Of course he made that remark five years ago so he was a little ahead of the curve. Or maybe he was just in on the neo-con conspiracy.

#9  I'd love to see the beast publically tried on TV, but I also wonder what other possible outcomes there could be if he doesn't get to trial--
1.) Some Ba'athists who escaped detection during the police screening process will (try to) help him escape.
2.) Similarly some Ba'athists may smuggle in cyanide or some such to save him the humiliation of a trial (a la Goering).
3.) On a different tack, his non-Ba'athist Iraqi custodians will beat the life out of him.
4.) Similarly, it will be revealed he was abused and tortured in Iraqi custody and the integrity and fairness of the trial and the court will taint all the proceedings.

I do hope the bastard is tried effectively and correctly and executed, in any case!
