He's not playing to the Americans watching the trial. He's playing to the Arab world, and he's humiliating us by with our own hypocrisy.

Bush just killed 800 civilians in Fallujah, are we going to string him up?
The new puppet government is running death squads and torturing their opponents, are they going on trial?
Yes, and Saddam is already using this "trial" as a vehicle to humiliate the US. Or are we just humiliating ourselves?

Of course we won't do that. The US would have to answer for our invasion.

Does their new Constitution allow for ex-post-facto laws and prosecutions?

At any rate, are they charging Saddam under the 1982 version of the Iraqi constitution? As president of Iraq, he had total immunity.
