[Havell]

The trial was a farce, and broke the Geneva convention at several points. The notion that the Iraqi people were in control is absurd, not only beucase the Iraqi government is US appointed (yes, there were elections, but the US decided who people coulds vote for) but because the US held him captive and controlled access to him during the trial.

It's just one more pointless death; among those by Saddam during his reign, during the war itself, and those that will follow.
