The Capture Of Saddam Hussein
US troops in Iraq captured the Ace of Spades in the "most wanted deck" on Saturday night: Saddam Hussein! Based on fresh intelligence, troops found the former dictator huddled in a "spider hole" in Tikrit. Iraqis and Americans alike celebrate his capture, but what should the Coalition do with him? Reports say that Hussein is defiant and unrepentant. Will he face justice at the hands of the Iraqi National Congress? Hussein joins the ranks of people like Slobodan Milosevic, as anguished nations await justice for the men who have allegedly killed thousands of people. Until America decides what to do with him, Saddam Hussein's status is "prisoner of war." Iraqi-Americans from Southern California, politicians and intelligence and international experts join Larry Mantle do discuss the ramifications of Saddam's capture, and what it might mean for the Coalition and the Iraqi people.
