The trial has never been on track.

Our first concern is the security of the lawyers because without security you can't possibly have a fair trial, if trial at all, and that's not been adequately attended to.

Reconciliation is essential. This trial can either divide or heal. And unless it is seen as absolutely fair, and as absolutely fair in fact, it will irreconcilably divide the people of Iraq.

very much on track.

No lawyer Saddam Hussein has known before the U.S. invasion has seen him, ... He never has had anything approaching counsel of his own choosing?. There has been no ability to begin to prepare a defense.

A humane and generous concern for every individual, his health and his fulfillment, will do more to soothe the savage heart than the fear of state-inflicted death, which chiefly serves to remind us how close we remain to the jungle.
