I don't know much if anything about Iraqui Law, hell i don't even know if there is a real legal system. If he is tried in Iraq there could and will be claims from the international community of American manipulation.

I've got a hunch that there was Iraqi law prohibiting what Saddam did, but it was selectively enforced. If an opponent of Saddam conspired to commit genocide, I'm sure that he would have been swiftly, and severely punished.
