In Other News - Iraq - Saddam Hussein

I know that hurricane is dominate in the news and getting relief to those in need is important but we cannot forget other world events - like Iraq where are brave men and women are serving. This story states Iraq to put Hussein on trial in 6 weeks, and I think this is sugnificate... If and when Saddam Hussein is found guilty it may be considered the last chapter of "old Iraq, per-say, and help usher in the "new Iraq".

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 4 - The trial of Saddam Hussein will begin in six weeks, the Iraqi government said today, and he and seven aides face a special tribunal on charges of massacring almost 150 residents from the town of Dujail, the scene of a failed assassination attempt against Mr. Hussein 23 years ago.
Laith Kubba, a spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, said the trial would begin Oct. 19 - four days after a national vote on a proposed new constitution. Mr. Hussein, who faces the death penalty if convicted, could possibly be hanged within months. Four days ago Iraq carried out its first court-ordered executions since the fall of Mr. Hussein's government, hanging three people convicted in May in the southern city of Kut of rapes and killings.
