Talabani: Saddam Trial Will Lower Attacks

The comments by President Jalal Talabani came two days after the Iraqi Special Tribunal filed its first criminal case against Saddam Hussein.

It said the investigation into the July 8, 1982, massacre of an estimated 150 Shiites in Dujail, 50 miles north of Baghdad, has been completed, and the case was referred to the courts for trial.

Saddam and three other top officials are accused of involvement in the massacre as retaliation for a failed assassination attempt as he drove through Dujail.

"We are for a swift trial of those criminals. They are war criminals who committed terrible crimes against the Iraqi people," Talabani told reporters in his first comments on the trial.

6. Weren't the Sunni's the ones who supported Saddam?

You'd think that would piss them off even more.

7. Whistling past the graveyard...

8. If Saddam is executed he will become a martyr

Even Iraqis who didn't like him or his regime will be free to add him to a list of nationalist heroes (or religious martyrs in some cases), to provide inspiration to the forces arrayed against the U.S. occupation. Surely, even the morons in the Bush administration must know this.
