I'm just waiting for him to hire Mark Geragos as his attorney.

Now really though. Don't the Turks feel kinda stoopid? They dragged their feet during the war, and now, oh horrors, Hussein may have been captured due to the intelligence of the Kurds! How embarrassing!

[Dilbert56]

Possible deals: "regular vs. extra-cripsy" "feet first vs. head first"

Betcha we could find a room for him it the nice scenic town of Florence Colorado.
Would be ironic if he ended up in the same cell Timothy McVeigh used to occupy.

Sure, I think we can offer him a deal. As long as he keeps talking and giving us useful information, we can postpone his trial and execution.

The toothless World Court in The Hague, which is the spawn of the toothless United Nations, does not have a death penalty. The Iraqi Ruling Council outlawed the death penalty as one of their first acts because they wanted to prevent another leader like Saddam Hussein from arising and executing 100s of thousands of people. (Those toothless wonders apparently belief someone like Saddam Hussein would follow the law!) So the first beneficiary of the law to proscribe Saddam Hussein II is -- a blare of trumpets please -- Brappp!! -- Saddam Hussein I.

"If it does emerge that most of the information that led to Saddam's arrest did indeed come from Kurdish sources, this will probably boost their status with Washington."

This fool still thinks with a tribal mentality - You don't "boost your status" in this country by finally getting around to doing something that helps yourself out.

Sure make a deal with him... and keep it as honestly as he kept his, after we know all we need to know.

Ack! Don't give him any ideas.

Actually, I think he'd go with the weasel supreme Geoffrey Feiger.

(* Apologies to actual weasels)

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

We (the U.S.) banned the death penalty. Actually make sense if you think about it.

[MinuteGal]

Hah.....the aftershave isn't even dry on Saddam's chin yet, and already the creative media has President Bush thinking of playing "Let's Make a Deal".

This ain't gonna happen....we'll find the WMD's anyhow.....and Saddie's next and only deal will be with the Devil.

The death penality is not really appropriate here, would be too quick.
Would be far better to lock him in an iron box.
Put on a audio tape of a baby crying and loop it forever.
Only feed him pork and beans, breakfast, dinner and supper. Also forever...

Speaking of incarcerated despots, whatever happened to Manuel Noriega? Last time I checked, he was in the Federal slam someplace. He still there? What's his disposition?

[Mr. Mojo]

If it takes a deal to get Saddam to sing about both the whereabouts of his WMD and his ties to Al Qaeda (and 9/11), then I say cut the deal. Getting that info is infinitely more important than seeing Saddam hang.

[Mr. Mojo]

Geoffrey Feiger.

One of the most miserable humans I've ever seen.

Exactly so.

Death to the old bastard is my first reaction. However, he has information that could keep a lot more Americans from being killed.

[arasina]

I heard he will give information if they name a city in his honor: Kahrbahm.
