Wagner: A Freudian slip? "Our sovereign nation"? I think that will be Eric's point in the upcoming treatise.

Said with humour, not malice, BTW.

Then there is the whole conspiratorial twist about how the US wants him dead so he will not "spill the beans" about secret US arms deals...but that is BS because they could've just tossed a hand grenade in the spider hole when they captured him, which, in retrospect, would've been the way to go and not allowed him to grandstand and mock the fledgling Iraqi judicial system. I say he's done in 90 days or less. (wasn't that the thread topic?)

There were no "secret" US arms deals. All of those deals for chemical and biological weapons are right out there in the open for anyone to read about. An American company even built their main chemical weapons factory. The information has appeared in various declassified congressional reports since then. It's just that most people do not bother to read, so many running around out there think this is some sort of "conspiracy theory" or something.

JV is right, US laws do not count in Iraq.

ok, let me be more precise; the part I pissed myself with laughter about was upon reading "in Iraq, they are a sovereign nation".

I think some of you need to refresh your civics information

The thing that sovereignty hinges on in the legal sense of the word is judicial superiority. If the current Iraqi court sytstem passes judgement on someone, even if it's after the conclusion of the appeals process, there is no higher authority in or outside of Iraq to strike it down or reverse the decision.

That's what the definition of a sovereign nation is.
