#1 International Red Cross officials have said the conventions would not prevent the United States from handing Saddam over to an Iraqi tribunal, as long as a fair trial is guaranteed.

It's amazing how the Red Cross would have the nerve to say things like this, even as over a quarter million Iraqis died at the hands of Saddam's henchmen without the benefit of a fair trial themselves. At the very least, remaining uninvolved in this matter by witholding comment on it would have been a more honorable position.

#2 "Saddam is a war criminal, not a POW! Execute Saddam!," the crowd chanted.

What they said.

#4 Shipman... don't worry about it. A stopped clock can tell the right time occasionally (even if it stopped in the 7th century...).

#5 Shipman may be right, but it chaps me that these Shiites are directing their anger at the US. These people are becoming a major headache. Their mob approach to issues (potentially rent-a-mob, directed by Iranian agents) is making me very nervous about the future of Iraq.
