"Saddam must be domestically prosecuted first and - if this fails - he should be referred to an international court," said the former American official, known for his staunch opposition to theU.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq.
He doubted ,however ,that the ousted Iraqi president would be given such a fair trial.
Clarke averred that neither the U.S-installed Interim Governing Council (IGC) nor the occupation forces is eligible to try the overthrown president.
"The IGC does not represent Iraq. It is Bush's council," said the former U.S. attorney general.
For the occupation forces to take over the trial, he dismissed this as a would-be ridiculous proposal.
"Occupation of Iraq is in itself an international crime" and runs counter to common decency and moral integrity.
Asked if Saddam could be taken to the International Criminal Court, the former U.S. attorney general whimsically ruled out the suggestion, noting Washington does not even recognize the court. article
