Aljazeera.Net - Rights group: Iraq war tribunal flawed: "'Trying former Iraqi officials under the current rules could mean a wasted opportunity to put Saddam and his henchmen on trial in a manner that has credibility in the eyes of the world,' Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Program at HRW, said on Friday.

'Trials for atrocities committed during Baath Party rule could not be more important for the victims and to show that justice works,' he said. 'But the process must be fair for justice to be done.'"
