Last week, the New York-based Human Rights Watch warned that the tribunal "runs the risk of "violating international standards for fair trials."Advising the Internationalists to go piss up a rope -- a great sign for a fledging free nation.
"In Iraq's fragile political climate, the legitimacy of the court will be in question," it said in a statement. There have also been demands that Saddam be tried before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.
Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari rebutted these complaints, arguing that Saddam's crimes were mostly against the Iraqi people, so he should be tried by Iraqis.
"Why cannot a man who committed crimes against his own people be tried by the same people? Iraq's judiciary is just."
