Now that the handover of sovereignty in Iraq has happened, Saddam Hussein will face justice. Organized under the Coalition Provisional Authority, the Iraqi Special Tribunal for Crimes Against Humanity, led by Salem Chalabi, will try Hussein. The tribunal is expected to charge the former dictator, and his lieutenants, with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. But what is Saddam Hussein's status? Until the handover, he was a POW, but what is he now? And will he get due process? Joining Guest Host Patt Morrison is William Langewiesche, correspondent for the Atlantic Monthly, based in Baghdad. Mr. Langewiesche is covering the trial of Saddam Hussein. Joining Patt also is Richard Dicker, Director of the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch in New York.
