I like the attitude of the new Iraqi government towards trying Saddam Hussein. Speed it up. They feel they have 12 counts with solid evidence that will be ample for Saddam to get a death sentence. I'm with them, let's git-r-done. The administration's approach 'would have delayed Hussein's trial until at least 2006, and brought him to court on multiple counts of genocide and crimes against humanity, in a trial similar to that of Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who has been on trial since 2002 at the International War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague.' And after three years Milosevic's trial is still going on. It'd be way too kind to let Hussein live that much longer. Having Saddam pay the ultimate price for his murdering ways is exactly what the Iraqi people want to see. It will serve as a permanent marker that the old Iraq is gone and the fight for freedom is bearing fruit. Iraqi Tribunal Details Plan to Prosecute Saddam Hussein. Under pressure from Iraq's government to accelerate the trial, the court has abandoned the strategy urged by the U.S. By By JOHN F. BURNS. [NYT > Home Page]
