We are turning over Saddam and he will be tried for exactly what? |
|
Let me get this right...we go to another country, take their brutal dictator, bring him to our country until we can successfully :eyes:"turn over" so-called power to them and now send Saddam back...wtf? What exactly are their "laws" and how can they "try" him...:shrug: They don't have any "laws" yet, so what will the grounds be for any trial:shrug:?
what the hell...?

"take their brutal dictator, bring him to our country"? I don't know that this is true. Where is Saddam being held?
Anyone?

2. we prevent ex post facto laws. iraq has no such restriction. |
|
iraq is free to make it up as they go along, and we can say, gee, that's not the way we do it here, but, that's what iraqi freedom is all about.

4. This is another joke... |
|
...Iraq gets 'legal' custody while we maintain PHYSICAL custody. Until they can insure his safety. We didn't care about his safety when we were dropping bombs trying to blow him up. They are going to try him for war crimes including genocide....thats what I heard on the news.

6. Why can't they try him? |
|
His crimes are not subtle or nuanced-- we're not talking about property rights, FCC violations, or speeding.
I think even a "new" country without an overly elaborate code of law can ascertain the guilt or innocence of someone accused of rape, torture, false imprisonment and mass murder.

7. He was quite fond of murder... |
|
I'm sure there must be a law against that somewhere (excluding murder committed by Coalition mercenaries etc).

He is being accused of crimes against humanity, which are international in scope.

9. Crimes against humanity |

He can cry in the same ex post facto towel as Rudolf Hess and Hermann Goering.
If only he had peddled drugs, the US could make Manuel Noriega his cellmate.

Did we ever have the term "rape room" defined? I'd never heard it until the chimp began rambling on about them.

13. Turning him over is illegal |
|
He is a POW and as such is protected under the Geneva Convention. Not that we have paid much attention to that lately. I thought that according to the rules he would have to be tried in an international court, like Milosevic. Of course Bush and Company do not want to air in public all of the US's dirty little secrets regarding Saddam. Like the fact that we backed him in the Iran-Iraq war. So most of the atrocities were committed while he was still an ally, at the behest of Reagan and Bush I. So trial on Thursday and a quick execution to follow. I predict that is what will happen.

14. The war is officially over, so they have to turn him over or charge him |
|
with crimes.
There's no rule saying he has to be tried in an international court.

16. There is a rule, it's just that aWol doesn't care about such things |
|
However, their big into pretending to comply with the law now, so they'll transfer the "legal" custody.

17. Tried for the October Surprise - Big Show Trial coming to you next fall |
|
It's going to be like OJ. It's going to be on TV day and night. All of the victims will tell their stories. Bush's Lies will be justified by the suffering of Saddam's victims. That's what he will be tried for.

With the case bushco has tried to make that SH had ties to AQ, OBL and thus 9/11, why would he not be tried in the US as a criminal?
Second, how do we even know it is SH in custody and not a double?
