 Khaleej Times Online
For many residents of Ad Dawr, the capture of Saddam on their doorstep was a “place of shame” which exposed the “betrayal” of the Iraqi people, yet few want to see the site destroyed, preferring it to remain as a lasting testimony to the end of a dark era.
Ad Dawr lies in the so-called Sunni Triangle of violent resistance to the US-led occupation, with attacks on US forces or civilians catalogued almost daily across the area.
A spokeswoman for the US 4th Infantry Division, which patrols Ad Dawr and the surrounding area that Saddam once counted as his stronghold, said her superiors were lobbying for the site to be razed.

 War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity
AD DAWR, Iraq — As U.S.-led forces consolidated their control over rebellious Samarra on Saturday, humanitarian officials described a hellish scene within the city in the wake of a two-day offensive by 5,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops.
The morgue in Samarra's main hospital was overflowing, so some of the dead had to be laid out on the floor of an unrefrigerated hall, said Nura abid Bakir, director of the Red Crescent branch in the northern Iraqi province of Salahuddin.
He added that division officers were working with Salahuddin Gov. Hamud Shukti to increase humanitarian aid.

 Saddam Hussein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some observers have argued that referring to the deposed Iraqi president as only Saddam may be derogatory and academically inappropriate, considering that Westerners often mispronounce the name "Saddám" as "Sádom," adding a religious rhetorical connotiation to "Sodom" — the city which according to the Bible was destroyed by God for its sin.
Some elements of Sharia law were re-introduced (such as the 2001 edict imposing the death penalty for homosexuality, rape and prostitution, and the ritual phrase "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great"), in Saddam's handwriting, was added to the national flag.)
To the consternation of Islamic conservatives, his government gave women added freedoms and offered them high-level government and industry jobs.

Martino said the Vatican hoped the arrest of Saddam "can contribute to promoting peace and the democratization of Iraq."
