US-led forces will hand over Saddam Hussein and top officials of his former regime to the Iraqis before the handover of power, according to a top lawyer coordinating Hussein’s trial. The iraqi trials will begin early in 2005, and Saddam Hussein will not necessarily be the first one tried.

Very smart move. This will give the Iraqi public something to sink their teeth in to. 'How to handle Saddam' will fill the news for weeks.
