>>His thinking seems to be that Iraqi crimes should be litigated in Iraqi courts with Iraqi juries rather than international courts.<<

I think Iraq law is more similar to European Civil Law, no juries, instead a three judge panel.

Which was what was used in the Nuremberg Trials. (Most people don't realize that there were twelve Nuremberg trials, not just the famous one.)

One of the judges in the main Nuremberg trial was the Dean of the LSU Law School who was learned in comparative law. Louisiana has Civil Law, not Common Law.
