Saddam's fair trial

There has been some discussion as to whether or not Saddam can get a fair trial. I think it's a rather silly question myself, since the trial is a formality at this point. It's one of those things that we're doing just because it has the appearance of being more legitimate than just hanging him right away. There's probably more to it, such as using it as a way to show the world what Saddam has done, but the one purpose that this trial doesn't serve is making a real decision on whether or not he's actually guilty.
