No trial anytime soon -- ABC News

So that'll be the October Surprise? Saddam's show trial?

Anybody else think so?

1. That was my first thought

It won't wait for October...I'd say June or July for a start and run it through the election. Every debate will just be the Dean trying to defend why Saddam should be in power.

2. Nope...

they can't do a "trial"...come on now. They're "interrogating" him
about the WMDs and OBL...
Give it a month or so and soon we'll be hearing about Syria and how
the WMDs are over there. ;) Plays out beautifully.

3. Arlen Spector was pushing for an international trial on CNN today

I hope that's how it goes but I doubt it.

4. in the spirit of the 6th Amendment and bringing democracy to Iraq ...

or, will they still hate us for our freedoms*?

*as amended and/or enhanced by the PATRIOT Act, Executive Orders, and million-dollar lawyers

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
