How do you try Saddam Hussein?

 Now that the US has captured and secured former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein, the question remains, how to try him for his crimes.
Many proposals have been put forth by opinionated folks: let the US try him, let the Iraqi Governing Council try him, let the Hague or ICC try him, or simply lock him up with Noriega. More than a few people have simply suggested killing him.
But that last one won't happen- it's not how people of honor act, and despite what some folks will suggest, America will act with honor in this.
So, the opinion I want to put forth is one that hasn't gotten a lot of publicity to date: it is, follow the historical examples.
In this case, there are two such examples. One, Nuremburg. The other? Eichmann, 1961.
