The Saddam Hussein Trials have begun. In the instant case, the Iraqi Special Tribunal will be trying Saddam for his retaliation for an assassination attempt. In his campaign against the city of Dujail, he ordered the bulldozing of many buildings, the imprisonment of entire families, and the execution of about 150 suspects without trial.
In order to get a sense of what's going on, I recommend the following links:
