I'm from Canada actually.
I'm aware of the American jury system and while it does have the occasional problem, it is a good system.
Don't get me wrong, I think that the guy is guilty as sin. But I doubt that anyone in Iraq is capable of remaining impartial and that if the U.S. government wanted to at least keep an appearance of impartiality, the case should be moved outside of Iraq. Possibly at The Hague.
