    Here is the best idea I've seen so far:

    "Don't kill them," said Hadi Al-Baghdadi, a 42-year-old Iraqi living in Dearborn, referring to Saddam and members of the ruling Baath party. "Put them in cages in a zoo. And then we can use the admissions fees to rebuild Iraq."

    This won't happen because the US doesn't want Saddam spilling the beans on what the US has been doing in Iraq and the Middle East over the past 35 years. If we find him, he's a dead man.

    He could have done so already. Besides, I doubt he has additional accusations that you haven't expressed already.

    Yes, because he's such a credible man and the entire world will listen to him sans a grain of salt. Maybe he'll get Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf to present this evidence for him. At least then the laugh factor will go up. But if we find him, he is as good as dead because it is a much simpler means of dealing with him. The reason the idea the Iraqi man suggested won't happen is because it's putting a man on display in a zoo for public ridicule which wouldn't exactly repair any damage this war has done to our image.

    On the other hand, he'd have nothing to lose by telling the truth, would he? And if he backs it up with documents we haven't had a chance to destroy? The last thing the US wants is Saddam on a witness stand. At best, he could only inflame the Muslim radicals with lies, at worst he could severely damage our relations with the rest of the Muslim world by revealing any truths he knows and backing them up.

    Bush won't take the chance. Saddam is as good as dead. Period.
