Saddam is very much a coward. Always has been. Cowards don't commit
suicide
unless overwhelmed with depression.

He probably expects to survive.

We have caught a hot potato. The US will want to try him at a US (only)
military tribunal, and the rest of the world will want a Nuremberg type
trial.
Sticky diplomacy ahead, at a time when Colin Powell has been muzzled and
nobody
else in the administration is up to the task.

Doesn't Fox News (ha!) already have the trial transcripts?

I have 'em...right in the draw next to Bush's Yale transcript. If you want,
I'll send 'em both to you.
