#2 Oh comeon now, you should know a Hangman's noose has thirteen windings, not ten.

#3 I don't get this one - the procedures for requesting transfer of custody were clear enough for the transfer of No. 1 last year. And while I thought apparent US foot-dragging for that case was unwise (though understandable, if only to keep Saddam around for the full Anfal trial), I can't see the angle here. Chemical Ali's big case was Anfal - his second big case would be the 1991 intifada case, but if the Shi'a govt. wants him to swing now, that shows they're not determined to have him around for that trial.

We have physical custody of the prisoners, but the Iraqis (the tribunal, until they have finished with appeals of sentences) have judicial control.
