If President Bush and his defence secretary Rumsfeld can avoid facing trial simply by expressing "sorrows" to families of the Abu Ghraib prisoners for the brutalities and sexual abuses committed upon them by their troops/subor-dinates, Saddam Hussain should also get away from facing trial by expressing "sorrows" to the families of those who were subjected to brutalities by his men.

That will ensure fair trial of Saddam Hussain.
