Saddam Hussein's Trial May Never Happen

Salem Hussein, the nephew of Ahmed Chalabi and Iraq's former Special Tribunal Director, gave an address to the American Enterprise Unit in which he said that:

"Saddam Hussein may never come to trial".

Saddam's defence team believe that the Iraqi Special Tribunal is illegitimate.

Additionally, the worsening security situation in Iraq will hinder the ability of the government to hold the trial there.

Indeed, Iraq is teetering on the brink of civil war; in that event it will be all but impossible to hold the trial there.
