What should happen to Saddam now? The U.S. says it isn't sure.

Iraqi officials were more certain. Adnan Pachachi, a member of Iraq's Governing Council, said Saddam would face open, public trial inside Iraq. That was echoed by other members of the council as well.

"There's no question that the process will be an Iraqi process," Pachachi said.

Amnesty International has weighed in as well:

The human rights group Amnesty International said Saddam should be given prisoner of war status, and should be allowed visits by the international Red Cross.

"Like any other criminal suspect he is entitled to all relevant safeguards under international law, including the right not to be subjected to torture or ill-treatment, and of course the right to receive a fair trial defense lawyer and the minimum safeguards as any other prisoner," said Nicole Shoueiry, a spokeswoman for the group.

Shoueiry said Amnesty has questions about the tribunal's legitimacy "because it was set up without consultations with Iraqi civil society, Iraqi lawmakers and international experts and observers, including the United Nations."

We think he should be brought before the International Criminal Court--only the U.S. refused to sign the Rome Treaty or join. Here's an open thread to discuss it.
