Saddam couldn't be extradited to The Hague because Iraqis wanted to dispose of him themselves. Saddam had nothing to say or to hide. He was toast from day one and he's got a very fair trial under iraqi arab standards.

His sons also had "fair trials", the arab way.

I don't see why you are looking for more mysteries around this.[/quote}


No fred, only some Iraqis wanted to dispose of him themselves and that had no bearing on what the US did. Can you say whether or not the gassings at Halabja were done by Saddam or done by Iran? Do you believe Pelletier when he says that Iran did them? Was Pelletier lying? He did lead the entire section of the CIA which was working on the issue. I don't think you can Fred and I don't think anyone can and if Saddam was still around to stand trial in the Hague on the issue then there was a chance of finding out. Are you really under the illusion that there would ever be anything other than victor's justice for Saddam?

And as for Saddam's sons, there was never any attempt to capture them alive of course. They would have sung songs which the US could not bear for the world to be privy to.

Your comments on that so far Fred?

Bye asshole
