What exactly can Saddam get charged with?

I'm just wondering.. I'm sure Bush will set up some kind of military trial. What will it be?

Responsible for:

Torture
Rape
Mass killings
Conspiracy to commit murder

anything else?

MAHAWEEL, Iraq -- The killers kept bankers' hours.

They showed up for work at the barley field at 9 a.m., trailed by backhoes and three buses filled with blindfolded men, women and children as young as 1.

Every day, witnesses say, the routine was the same: The backhoes dug a trench. Fifty people were led to the edge of the hole and shot, one by one, in the head. The backhoes covered them with dirt, then dug another hole for the next group.

At 5 p.m., the killers -- officials of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party -- went home to rest up for another day of slaughter.

In this wind-swept field in the central town of Mahaweel, witnesses say, this went on without a break for 35 days in March and April of 1991, during a crackdown on a Shiite Muslim uprising that followed the first Gulf War.

"I watched this with my own eyes," said Sayed Abbas Muhsen, 35, whose family farm was appropriated by Saddam's government for use as a killing field. "But we couldn't tell anyone. We didn't dare."

That's not what she was asking, and you know it.

I over reacted a tad.

That's mass killings right?

um...somewhere....

of Bush 41 in Kuwait.

I wonder if they'd put him in a cell next to Noriega.... :EVILGRIN:

hopefully it will be a public execution.

Like anyone honestly cares now except the hardcore freepers. I admit had he been captured during the summer it would actually have meant alot.

i thought it was WMDs, but we can't find any of those, so we'll settle for saddam? the old bait and switch!

jeez the US has a short attention span

I can't see what he did to us that we should try him for anything.

An Iraqi court could certinly find things to try him for.

An international tribunal might find a few things, too, but I would think he should be tried by Iraqis for crimes against his own people.

From what they're saying, it looks like the puppet goverment might be planning a trial.

I definetly think Saddam should be tried in Iraq by Iraquis.. you know to prove Iraq is free and all

that ought to be good for a few years.

taking corporatizing Medicare off the front page ... giving the Democratic nominating process a quick shake and shuffle ... giving corporate news a fresh wind to blow ... aiding and abetting this year's 'Holiday Message' from the White House ...
