Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court
I find it odd how the head of the courts and president can be called "criminals" with no official form of impeachment or ruling against their acts. it is not legal to change the ruling law during an occupation. Both the US and Britain violated international law in doing so.
Regardless of whether saddam had direct hand in anything said to have occured, the trial was not legal in nature, and violates the spirit of iraqi law.
it is unfortunate that the "new iraqi" government would start it's institution of unjust rule, by violating it's own history.
As for "former government" the state is occupied by foreign invaders, and it wouldn't hold the balance of power if it wern't for the occupation forces medling in the true iraqi status quo. the government does not represent popular force, it emerged out of occupation, and changed laws, directly in violation to international law concerning occupations.
The whole situation is a travesty. Also I do not recognize the new iraqi government as legitimate on basis of law, it is not a legal entity, and criminal acts such as extra judicial murder should not be condoned, irrelevant of the nature of the individuals involved. To continue in an even more corrupt form of justice, is not the right thing. There is no honour in the supposed ruling.
