Saddam Suit Against Coalition Members Tossed

Europe's human-rights court yesterday threw out a lawsuit filed by Saddam Hussein against 21 European nations who fought in Iraq, saying the case is outside its jurisdiction.
Saddam said his arrest, detention and handover to the Iraqi authorities and the ongoing trial in Baghdad breached the European Convention on Human Rights.

The mass-murdering dictator said coalition forces had violated his right to life, liberty and security.

The European Court of Human Rights said the suit did not fall within the jurisdiction of any of the 21 nations cited.
If at first he doesn't succeed, he'll just try to find another court. And I'm sure Ramsey Clark and the hate America cadre will try their best to run these claims into any and every court they can think of.
