Should Saddam should get a fair trial in Iraq? Whether he does or not, well
we’ll see I guess, but that seems to be what Dubya wants.
I’m just wondering whether the many non-US citizens who’ve been held in
Guantanamo Bay for over 2 year without charge, and who aren’t even alleged
to have been responsible for the murder of tens maybe hundreds of thousands
of people, deserve a fair trial in their own country too?
I guess not...

Rumsfeld claimed that Saddam would be treated as a POW under the Geneva
Convention, but that Convention has already been violated by the endless
broadcasting of humiliating video and photos of Saddam following his capture.

I wonder Saddam’s trial will be a Just proceeding, in which all evidence
can and would be entered...
“SH, isn’t it true you killed thousands of people??? Mass graves and
whatnot??”
“Why yes it is, while the US administration was paying me off...”
“Isn’t it true you had WoMD???”
“Why yes it is--the ones that the US administration sold me...”

Heh. The reports I’ve heard so far go something like this:
“Saddam is said to be cooperating with his interrogators, but he remains
defiant on the issue of WoMD.”
Sort of presupposes that Saddam had them, despite the utter failure of the
Dubya administration to find them after months of searching (and after
Rumsfeld asserted that we knew exactly where the WoMD are).
|
What ever happened to all those maps, satellite imagery, intelligence reports
and eye witness accounts which pinpointed exactly where the weapons were? Have
they been lost?
Yesterday:
Balir: “The Iraq Survey Group has already found massive evidence of a huge
system of clandestine laboratories, workings by scientists, plans to develop
long range ballistic missiles. Now, frankly, these things weren’t being
developed unless they were developed for a purpose.”
Blix: “My guess is that there are no weapons of mass destruction left”
Who do you trust?

Oh wait, I forgot, the
*real* reason we invaded Iraq was to liberate the Iraqis, right? That was
always made very clear during the run-up to the war, right?
Dave!
