Whoa! While reading that Spiegel article it is reported on Dutch radio too. They say there will be a press announcement at 13:00 GMT+1 (7 AM EST?).

Waits for the enraged lefties to denounce this as yet another attempt to cover up the fact that it's all about oil and Bush's re-election.
Always remember, there is no such thing as good news where Iraq is concerned.

I'm really curious what will happen now. Will the U.S. turn him over for a trial at the Hague? I doubt it. The U.S. will probably try him in the U.S. for war crimes. Though I don't think that would be possible as war crimes is an international crime, not a national crime.

Spiegel may be a somewhat biased source, but they´re usually the first site reportng important news.
they still edit the article and bring more and more details. now they say people in Kirkuk run on the streets and celebrate.
concerning foxnews, I guess they will mention it next year a couple of weeks before the prez-elections.

FoxNews is running a rerun of their big story show which airs earlier in the evening I believe. They just don't have the staff CNN has.
CNN has the British anchor covering things as the lead anchor with other people on phone with him.

Fox News just now reporting on it. They dropped the ball on this one. You would think their buddies in the Bush administration would have hooked them up.

Hoo-boy. I hope we don't mess up the trial, could be bad PR.
On the other hand, it might let the resistance know who's in charge, make sure the common folk have less fear of reprisals, etc.

yes but then Al Quida terrorists will snatch him, because it is obvious they have more control over the country than the U.S. has. Too risky to try him there.

Well then how shall he die!? We sure as hell aren't going to kill him.
If he is to die, might as well let the Iraqis do it.

an Iraqi court would generally be the best idea. especially for the Iraqi people who suffered his cruel dictatorship for several decades. if they would be any capable running a trial, I don´t see a reason why any other court should sentence him.

I'm against the death penalty in this case. There would be too much of a martyr backlash.
Better to let him rot in Gitmo, Cuba.

If you let the Iraqis deal with it, a lot of the anger population will probably subside. If you cart him to Camp X Ray or The Hague you'll get more of a backlash (e.g. look at Milosevic's support still in Serbia after the extradition).
