There will be a war crimes tribunal now, correct? Not a mock-up in Iraq conducted by the U.S.?
Iraq Council Confirms Saddam Caught Alive
But would Tony Blair welcome a trial he cannot control?
Blair Welcomes Capture of Saddam Hussein
I predict the Iraqi judges will be hand-picked and the ‘international legal experts‘ from coalition countries only. Matter of security, of course.
The ‘trial’ should be a summer blockbuster.
“Video footage of Saddam Hussein receiving a medical check-up released by US forces in Baghdad.”
Saddam hid under vegetables ‘like a rat’
“They (US soldiers) dragged him from under vegetables. He did not resist. He was hiding like a rat under vegetables.
“This is evidence that Saddam has nothing to do with the resistance taking place in Iraq,” al-Hussein told al-Jazeera television.
He added that Saddam was hiding alone and was in a “terrible state” when he was arrested.
Judging from the shape he’s in, Saddam’s lost track of that ‘$54 billion’ as well.
$54 billion missing: team of US investigators combs over 50 countries
Is this really the ‘end‘ or the beginning of a more damning period for the Bush administration. If the insurgency continues to claim American lives despite a trial spun to perfection, doubtful considering this administration’s propensity for bungling the best of PR situations, who will George have to blame now that Saddam is captured?
al-Qaeda? Iran? Syria? Probably.
