Where will S.H. be tried. Will it be by Iraq or USA or World Court.

I feel that the only qualification to be met is a fair trial.

Does anyone know what jurisdiciton this would fall under ??

Oh, they definitely want the trial to be done in Iraq by Iraqis. It would be disasterous to allow Saddam an international forum to discuss his various dealings with the US and its allies. If the topic were allowed to stray from his abuse of Iraqis (internal politics) to anything international there would be very nasty things revealed about many of the NATO countries who want to be considered 'good guys' on the world stage.
