Martin pushes a 'just' tribunal

World backing is key, PM says
First conversation with Bush today

"Prime Minister Paul Martin laid down an important marker yesterday, calling for an internationally legitimate judicial process for prosecuting the captured Iraqi ex-dictator, Saddam Hussein"

/snip/

"Martin, who voted with the government against joining the U.S.- led invasion of Iraq, said he plans to push his point in a conference call today with U.S. President George W. Bush."

/snip/

"Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham is a former professor of international law, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler has years of international experience with war crimes tribunals, Defence Minister David Pratt has been very involved in Sierra Leone, and Martin's parliamentary secretary John Godfrey was very active in Somalia."

/snip/

"Graham called for "an open, transparent and internationally acceptable trial."

"We look forward to a trial, an open, transparent and internationally acceptable trial which we know will take place to deal with this man who has been a dictator, a brutalizer of his whole region," he said."

Almost as if they were hand-picked by Martin for this very scenario !

1. This is good!

I heard Martin this morning and he was praising, first and foremost, the troops, naming the 4th, and the Iraqi people. He only added his congratulations to Bush as secondary, I loved it!
