<it would appear the George Bush is suffering the acute embarrassment of not having a case against Hussein. Else why no trial?> It took years to get Milosevic on trial and years of legal torture on trial. It's insane. If Americans can't be tried by an International Criminal Court, then I don't see how Saddam can be since I doubt that he signed up for such an institution. It will at best be a kangaroo court which they will dress up in some way to look the part. The law is the law of the jungle. Americans are trying to pretend that it isn't, while insisting that it is. They want it both ways. Enemy combatants are non-persons. But the USA is bringing Freedom on the March. Saddam can be charged with "Being person non grata" and King George II can legally [in USA terms] have him shot in a pre-emptive strike in self-defence. Simple really. Or, they could just hand him over to the Iraqis who don't like him. But that could end up quite messy, or embarrassing if they let him go or, horrors, voted him in as their boss. Mqurice
