Saddam Hussein remains in a U.S.-run jail today but the new Iraqi government has taken legal custody of the former president. He is expected to be arraigned today in an Iraqi court along side 11 other top officials. Some Republicans in Congress are urging the US to back a swift trial of Hussein before the November election. Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania Republican said putting a spotlight on Saddam’s record of execution and torture could help shore up public support for the invasion damaged by a US prison abuse scandal.
