4. I agree. The Hague or a neutral country would have been a proper forum.
Once a neutral country is the sponsor, I could see pre-trial motions of dismissal. This motion has the effect of "Yeah, everything you said is true. I did that, I did that, I did that. However: #1, that isn't a crime. #2, that was justified as I did it to protect the citizens of my country, #3, the U.S. facilitated if not aided and abetted my actions. Let me go."

And if there is a trial, let the papers show EXACTLY how complicit Rumsfeld and Co. were in setting up Saddam Hussein as political pot-stirrers. And then maybe the Hague will put THEM on trial after Saddam (in a perfect world).
