U.S. Wants Iraqis to Judge Hussein...

ASHINGTON, July 31 — The United States has plans to create a special tribunal of Iraqi judges to try Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity if he is captured, State Department officials and administration legal advisers said today.

"We're looking for an Iraqi-led process to deal with these abuses," a senior State Department official said. "It's important that we bring ownership of these matters to the Iraqi people."

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the administration had ruled out seeking a broad-based international tribunal or a United Nations-led effort to try Mr. Hussein. However, the official said, the Iraqis who would lead the court could seek assistance from other Arab countries or elsewhere.

"But it will be up to them," the official said. "The Iraqis will play the undisputed leadership role in this process."

As military officials sound more optimistic that an increasing number of tips from Iraqis will help locate Mr. Hussein, discussion within the administration over how to deal with the ousted Iraqi leader, if captured, has accelerated in recent days.

This is all blowing smoke. If Saddam is captured he will spill the beans on the BFEE, thus he will "resist capture" like his sons did and will be executed.

Hey, I have no problem with that creep dying. But it would be nice for the world to know the extent to which Bush (Sr. and Jr.) and their cronies have supported him in the past.
