NO MA'AM...IT DOESN'T GO WITHOUT SAYING

Me, I reckon this is something for the Iraqis to decide.

Some groups wouldn't recognize a good opportunity to shut up if it crawled inside their ears and died.

Sheesh.
The interim Iraqi government said Sunday it wants to try Saddam Hussein before a special tribunal, but a human rights group voiced deep concern about the legitimacy of the newly established panel...

Amnesty International, however, criticized the new Iraqi tribunal as flawed. It demanded that Saddam -- as commander in chief of Iraq's armed forces -- be classified as a prisoner of war...

"Another concern is the death penalty," Shoueiry said. "He should be punished for his crimes, but the death penalty is not included. That goes without saying."
