[quote="Sgt>Stackem":b742f]he has murdered many more than 150[/quote:b742f]

Obviously, but for now he's only on trial for mudering 150(Dujail) which could most likely end up being his only trial.

[quote:b742f]Amin later read the charges against Saddam and his co-defendants, advising them they face possible execution if convicted in a 1982 massacre of nearly 150 Shiites in Dujail, Iraq, after a failed attempt on the former dictator’s life.

( page 2 bottom)

Prosecutors are preparing other cases to bring to trial against Saddam and his officials — including for the Anfal Operation, a military crackdown on the Kurds in the late 1980s that killed some 180,000 people; the suppression of Kurdish and Shiite revolts in 1991; and the deaths of 5,000 Kurds in a 1988 poison gas attack on the village of Halabja.

If a death sentence is issued in the Dujail case, it is unclear whether it would be carried out regardless of whether Saddam is involved in other trials. He can appeal a Dujail verdict, but if a conviction and sentence are upheld, the sentence must be carried out within 30 days. A stay could be granted to allow other trials to proceed. [/quote:b742f]

You're more or less right Sgt, but I know I'll feel better when he's charged with the more extreme crimes.
