Judge: Saddam trial may start in August

[ECH1969]

Juhi said the trial would begin “in August or September, but we would like it to begin before that.” Saddam and the others could be sentenced to death if convicted, Juhi said.

Iraqi officials have announced the imminent start of Saddam’s trial before, only to have the proceedings delayed. The Americans privately have urged caution about rushing into a trial, saying Iraq must develop a good court and judicial system first.

U.S. officials say there are also concerns a trial could interfere with the important process of writing a constitution and inflame sectarian tension. The Iraqi government must finish a draft by mid-August so it can hold a referendum on the charter ahead of December elections for a full-term government.

4. Wonder if he'll talk about the days when he worked for us?

Where's that picture of rumsfeld shaking his hand.. why hasn't that been plastered all over the place by the liberal media?


I am sure that he's got plenty of dirt on people like poppy bush, that's probably why the American officials are trying to keep them from "rushing" into a trial. What bullshit, they've had him locked up what, two years almost?
