Some quotes:
"Over the next few days, the Iraqi authorities will be taking custody of 12 senior members of the previous regime, including Saddam Hussein," said Salem Chalabi, an Iraqi official in charge of setting up a tribunal.
Ziad al-Khasawneh, one of 20 Jordanian and foreign lawyers appointed by Saddam's wife, Sajidah, said the United States has no legal basis to keep prisoners, including Saddam, now that it has transferred authority to an interim Iraqi government.
They should know by now, that the U.S. is not one to follow rules or guidelines (sometimes even our own). :p
Al-Khasawneh said the defense team — which has enlisted 1,500 other lawyers from across the Arab world, Europe and the United States since Saddam's capture in December — sent letters to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the United Nations, the U.S. Embassy in Jordan and other diplomatic missions urging them to help free Saddam.
This proves that there are many who realize that in this modern world, you don't get what you want by beheading hostages, but rather by using lawers!
"Under the law, all Iraqi prisoners should have been freed, especially since none of them was charged," said the letter made available to the AP.
Laws and ethics are just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to Bush & Co. :icon16:
Don't bother them with the little details. My question, is why didn't they think ahead?, they should've known this was going to be a problem, but then again the problems were many before, so I'm guessing it won't become a big deal for our government, no matter how much anybody whines about it.
