Like i said earlier though, the minimal amout that i have read about the Iraqui legal system basically pointed to the law being "the will of the soverign" ie, whatever Saddam said was law, whatever he wanted was law, and whatever action he took was legal. If this is the case, then it is difficult to try him under Iraqui law, when in essence he was Iraqui law.
