Trial of a dead man

Saddam Hussein (1937-2006)

From an article on the International Herald Tribune:

A trial on the far more sweeping charges that he directed the killing of 50,000 Kurds in an organized ethnic-cleansing campaign is still under way and will continue despite Hussein's execution.

and

Iraqi officials said the execution would be filmed, both for the historical record and as proof for those who may doubt the word of both the Americans and Iraqis.

From an article on aljazeera.net:

The US-based rights group Human Rights Watch condemned the hanging, saying history would judge his trial and execution harshly.

Richard Dicker, a Human Rights Watch director, said: "Saddam Hussein was responsible for horrific, widespread human rights violations, but those acts, however brutal, cannot justify his execution, a cruel and inhuman punishment.

When will George W. Bush and Ehud Olmert be held responsible for their crimes against humanity? Will they hang?
