Last I heard, the Saddam tribunal was having difficulty coming up with witnesses willing to testify against Saddam. It would suck if it couldn't make a case against one of the world's most notorious and brutal dictators. But I've overestimated the abilities of the Bush team in the past.
It seems inconceivable to me that we would hand him over to any body that was not prepared to guaranty Saddam's conviction of an offense with a penalty of death. I'm no fan of the death penalty, but it would be dangerous to leave him alive - he could be used as a figure head for a band of adventurers plotting a coup.

Jay Leno on the charges against Hussein:
- According to The New York Times, last year White House lawyers concluded that President Bush could legally order interrogators to torture and even kill people in the interest of national security -- so if that's legal, what the hell are we charging Saddam Hussein with?
