I confess I haven't followed the trial closely. It's really kind of a show from what I've seen. It's real purpose is to provide propaganda for the Administration showing 'we brought Saddam to justice'. And I'm okay with that.
I wonder if anyone has thought about the sentencing of the guy. He may be a killer, but show me a head of state in any major power that hasn't got blood on his hands. Is executing a former head of state such a good idea? Think of the precident. Who amongst them wouldn't have a warrant waiting for them somewhere?
