Well, according to the news, it looks like Saddams trial will indeed be a public one, held by the Iraqi people.

Theres also talk of him being given hundreds of death sentences for war crimes.

...and then they&#39;ll start on the 20+ years of crimes against humanity....

I don&#39;t think theres ever been another man in history who&#39;s been more screwed than Saddam is right now..

Warren Beatty ?

Actually, watch and learn what this will do.

You should become familiar with the legend of Pancho Villa. He was a Mexican general, who probably died in a cave somewhere.

His mysterious disappearance sparked a legend about him. 150 years later, people still talk about him being alive. Crazy, sure, but that is the power of the unknown.

Saddam is now seen to be a secularist coward, not an Islamic symbol.

His cowardly capture is monumental.

but what is really important is will they get wmd info from him. If he is willing to go without a fight after all the shit hes said, he should spill his guts, right?

Oh, but when the interrogators get nothing out of him because there really aren&#39;t any WMD&#39;s.. then the US is screwed. I dont think that his capture really changes anything in the Muslim World. No one really liked him, especially terrorists groups such as Al Qauda. People just hoped he would go out with a fight, which he did sort of.. but if things had been more organized, way more US troops would have died. People still dont like saddam, and no one was every really supporting him.. they were just against american intervention, not pro Saddam. This doesnt change anything and it will eventually backfire on the US when they are forced to admit what they always knew.. there are and never were any WMD.

I totally agree.

From a figure of fear and terror for millions of people. Who dominated and terrorised their every waking moment (and probably sleeping one as well).

From a genocidal maniac who murdered hundreds of thousands of people without any compunction. Ethnic cleansing (the very words stick in my throat).

From a man who let his people starve and suffer disease, whilst he stole billions of dollars from them and let the infrastructure of the country rot.

From a man whose family and "friends" lived like kings and did whatever they wanted, with impunity. Whilst the people of Iraq cowered in fear.

To a sad, lonely coward, hiding in a hole in the ground. Surrendering when the US Troops found him. Whatever happened to "I will keep the last bullet for myself" ?

I said it early in this thread, I say it again. Let us show the world what democracy, justice and due process mean. Let us ensure that the lowest of the low gets a fair and transparent trial. Let us ensure that those who wish to speak against this vile creature are allowed to do so. Let us also ensure that he is allowed to defend his actions and call any witnesses he wishes, to support his claims.

Let us be fair, even if the accused person was anything but.
