[derby378]

This poll is on an evangelical Christian site, but you don't need to log in to vote. Here's the question and current standings:

Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is now in Coalition custody. Where should the Hussein's trial take place?

21% Geneva, or any appropriately neutral U.N.-sanctioned site
6% In the United States, since we put our necks on the line to get him
69% Where most of his brutal crimes took place -- in Iraq
2% In a country adjacent to, but safer than, Iraq

1. Howabout the Hague where Slobo's being tried?

Seems like they've got the whole thing already set up.
There really isn't a system set up in Iraq to handle
a trial of this magnitude.

2. It wouldn't happen in Iraq

Too many security issues. If they have fellow Iraqis involved in the trial they'll be flown to the location.

4. Seems to me, The Hague is the proper venue to hold this trial.

But, the US won't be able to control the evidence and Saddam's testimony. That would open a very unpleasent line of information that would not be in this administration's interests.

Bush wants the Iraqi's to run the show trial....what does that tell you?
