Apparently we are just fine with seeing our nationals taste justice
American style for activities with which they were associated in a country
where it was not illegal, activites which were not illegal under
Australian law of the time, and under a process which would be
unacceptable in Australia even under our shiny new wot laws.
Makes one proud of the lengths to which our leaders will go for our

Well, Hussein hasn’t been charged yet either, and it’s arguable whether or

Did the Iraqis ask to have him handed over?

Yes. But they may have been asked to ask. ;)
The ICRC
may have helped things along: “Washington was told this month by the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to charge Saddam or hand him
over by June 30, or it would be in violation of international law.”
