Seems like the effect of Abu Gharaib was exaggerated
So maybe panties on their heads isn't so scary to them after all:

- UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Quick trials for Saddam Hussein and others from his regime, although rejected by Washington, would have deterred some of the violence now shaking Iraq, Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Friday.
"We pleaded, really," Zebari told Reuters. "We were frustrated that we were unable to do that."
Iraqi leaders had argued that trying Saddam and officials like Ali Hassan Majid -- known as "chemical Ali" for his leading role in chemical weapons attacks against the Kurds -- "would have a major impact" on those carrying out attacks on the U.S.-led coalition, said Zebari, who is himself a Kurd.
Those staging the attacks were asking, "What can they do to you? They will arrest you and put you in a prison and feed you four times a day," he said in an interview.
