It means he cannot now be tried.

Any such trial would be INCREDIBLY embarrassing for the USA - after all,
the defendant has the opportunity to speak out.

And his crimes - such as they be - do not involve the USA.  He never
attacked or supported any attacks on the USA.  He in fact did absolutely
nothing against the USA or its interests.

I find the moves these past few days interesting.  First it's official that
there are no WMD.  Then it's official that there were no WMD.  Then it's
official that he wasn't in cahoots with Al Quaeda, which was obvious to
anything with the intellect of a sea slug right from the beginning.  Then
it's official that Syria wasn't involved.  Then Saddam is now a PoW.  Then
British inmates of Guantanamo are to be sent home - but the British
Government turns down the implied conditions and wants them home
unconditionally.

And then the alert status goes to yellow.

The administration is in reverse gear.  And has its foot on the gas.

There's an agenda behind this, and it looks suspiciously to me like
Saddam's being rehabilitated - perhaps to resume power?

He's probably the only person who could achieve a government by 30 June.
