Unfortunately, RAME, you are right. Living, he is potentially free-able
and can become a nucleus for a resistance movement or join up with his old compadres. Dead at the hands of the state, he becomes a martyr and can become a nucleus... If he dies of natural causes, his death can be twisted to form the nucleus for a resistance... Damned if you do; damned if you don't.

Whatever the Iraquis decide to do to him, he deserves.
No matter what they to with him, there will always be those who twist it around and make it something it is not. Leaving him in prison, especially in any of those countries over there just invites a prison break getting him out there and hidden until he can amass enough power to once again sit on the throne. This one of those dilemnas that isn't going to do away anytime soon.

Maybe so, kingmi. Let's hope that Iraqi law isn't as specific as American,
that the grey areas do not overshadow the black and white. Hell, with any good lawyer, shared culpability can be asserted in any case.

Sul, these are the easiest twelve-rap to beat. He should with a decent lawyer. That stuff has
shared culpability written all over it. Right next to the word
circumstantial. My guess is America will be found guilty of atrocities for pulling him out of his spider hole.
