Rick, I can't use western ideals as a ruler. The US has capital punishment, nearly all other western nations don't. It seems perfectly reasonable for then to execute people for these offenses from their perspective. Saudi Arabia does it all the time

And if you want to hold Saddam responsible for deaths during interrogation, one would have to hold Bush culpable also.

I just think this case is not the right case to be trying to nail him on. This case is a losing situation for the US.
We need to find evidence for crimes against humanity charges for Saddam. Or a trail leading back from mass graves to his doorstep.
