Saddam's Dark Future

The US has announced it will turn over Saddam Hussein to an Iraqi war crimes tribunal before June 30.

Salem Chalabi said 100 officials of the former regime, like Tariq Aziz and "Chemical" Ali Hasan Majid, would also be returned ahead of any tribunals.

"They will be transferred to us before the transfer of power," he told reporters in Kuwait….

Mr Chalabi, who is in Kuwait to collect evidence against the detainees, said trials would begin early next year.

"We will put 100 people… including Saddam Hussein, on trial," he said.

"The punishments against those criminals will include executions," Mr Chalabi added, in remarks quoted by Reuters.

Whole thing here.
