So many people on this site say don't listen to the media find out for yourself, well how can we know without the media? I cannot or wouldn't be allowed to talk to Saddam Hussein about his involvement in Iraq over the last 30 years so unless I listen to the media how do I find out anything about this situation?

Saddam is not only guilty of gassing the Kurds, he is guilty of rape, war crimes, torture, and paying money to families of terrorists who blow themselves up.

The repressive violence of Saddam's regime is the norm and not something used by the authorities in exceptional circumstances as it is in many countries. The repression, imprisonment, torture, deportation, assassination, and execution are strategies followed by Saddam's regime in dealing with Iraqi people. The strategy of Saddam's regime in dealing with neighbouring countries are arrogance and aggression.
These strategies results from the fair that Saddam's regime is a dictatorship which lacks constitutional legitimacy and real popular base inside the country.
Observers have noticed since the 17-30 July 1968 coup of Bath Party the increase in numbers of the prisons and the oppressive and intelligence apparatus. They have noticed also hundreds of decrees issued by Saddam or the Revolutionary Command Council which sentence to death these who carry on against the regime such writing slogans or delivering speeches or even criticizing the regime or the president.
Saddam's regime crimes are countless and endless. However the following are few examples of these crimes:
The killing of Sunni religious leaders such as Abdul Aziz Al Badri the Imam of Dragh district mosque in Baghdad in 1969, Al Shaikh Nadhum Al Asi from Ubaid tribe in Northern Iraq, Al Shiakh Al Shahrazori, Al Shaikh Umar Shaqlawa, Al Shiakh Rami Al Kirkukly, Al Shiakh Mohamad Shafeeq Al Badri, Abdul Ghani Shindala.
The arrest of hundreds of Iraqi Islamic activists and the execution of five religious leaders in 1974.
The arrest of thousand of religious people who rose up against the regime and the killing of hundreds of them in the popular uprising of 1977 in which Ayatollah Mohamad Baqir Al Hakim the leader of SCIRI was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The arrest, torture and executions of tens of religious scholars and Islamic activists in such as Qasim Shubbar, Qasim Al Mubarqaa in 1979.
The arrest, torture and execution of Ayatollah Mohamad baqir Al Sadr and his sistre Amina Al Sadr (Bint Al Huda) in 1980.
The war against Iran in 1980 in which hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed, and many doubles of that number were handicapped or missed.
The arrest of 90 members of Al Hakim family and the execution of 16 members of that family in 1983 to put pressure on Ayatollah Mohamad Baqir Al Hakim to stop his struggle against Saddam's regime.
Using chemical weapons in the North and the South the details of which are below.
The occupation of Kuwait which resulted in killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and injuring many doubles of that number in addition to the destruction of Iraq.
The assassination of many opposition figures outside Iraq such Haj Sahal Al Salman in UAE in 1981, Sami Mahdi and Ni'ma Mohamad in Pakistan in 1987, Sayed Mahdi Al Hakim in Sudan in 1988, and Shaikh Talib Al Suhail in Lebanon in 1994.
The execution of 21 Bath Party leaders in 1979 in Iraq , the assassination of Hardan Al Tikriti former defence Minister in Kuwait in 1973, and the former Prime- Minister Abdul Razzaq Al naef in London 1978.

Listen to unbiased news and read unbiased newspapers. The L.A. Times is biased to the left and you will hear nothing good there about our soldiers and all the GREAT stuff they do in Iraq. And check out Fox News. Don't just listen to one point of view.
But, YES HE IS GUILTY! HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A TRIAL!
I think he should have been given back to his people to be dealt with, like Mussolini!

Saddam's trial is a farce. He's on his third (?) judge already - even the OJ farce only had Lance Ito...
...His defense team has quit numerous times and the courtroom is just a D version of Masterpiece Theater.
What a mess over there.

GUILTY!!! Making his OWN people suffer, while the country has infinite riches (potential riches he spent building palaces for himself) as well as killing, massacring, and watching shootings of his own fellow countrymen. Can you say GUILTY?
