VATICAN CITY, December 16 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) -- The president of the Vatican Justice and Peace Commission lambasted Tuesday, December 16, U.S. occupation authority in Iraq for showing humiliating pictures of ousted president Saddam Hussein.
"I personally felt sorry to see this broken man treated like a cow as they checked his teeth," said Cardinal Renato Martino as he presented Pope John Paul II's message for the World Day of Peace, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"We should have been spared these images," he said, in reference to a video clip played by the U.S. army Sunday, December 14, showing a disheveled and bearded Saddam being poked and prodded during medical checks.

The American military announced Saddam was captured a day earlier during a military operation near his hometown of Tikrit a day earlier.
"In seeing this man in his such tragic circumstances, I felt pity and I hope that others felt it too," said the 71-year-old cardinal, who served for years as head of the Vatican's diplomatic mission to the U.N.
In clear criticism of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Martino said it would be "illusory" to think Saddam’s capture would "repair all the drama and damage caused by a conflict that remains a defeat for humanity."
During the Iraq invasion, U.S. senior officials, topped by President George Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld criticized the Iraqis and Arab news channels for showing U.S. war prisoners on TV, calling it a war crime and threatening to hold Iraqi officials accountable.

Martino also hoped Saddam's trial would "contribute to the pacification and democratization of Iraq," asserting it must be conducted in "an appropriate place."
The issue has sparked a controversy with some saying he should stand an Iraqi trial under Arab-International supervision to guarantee a fair trail.
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsy Clarke expressed readiness Sunday, December 14, to act as defense lawyer for Saddam.

Law Of Force
---------------------------------------

In another development, Pope Paul criticized the U.S. unilateral invasion of Iraq without a mandate from the United Nations.
"International law must ensure that the law of the more powerful does not prevail," said the pontiff, appealing for the replacement of "the material force of arms with moral force of law."
In reference to the so-called war on terror, the pope said governments must avoid the "temptation to appeal to the law of force rather than to the force of law."
"Democratic governments know well that the use of force against terrorists cannot justify a renunciation of the principles of the rule of law," he said.
The pontiff also underlined that the "fight against terrorism cannot be limited solely to repressive and punitive operations."
The use of force had to be "accompanied by a courageous and lucid analysis of the reasons behind terrorist attacks," he said.
"The scourge of terrorism has become more virulent in recent years and has produced brutal massacres which have in turn put even greater obstacles in the way of dialogue and negotiation, increasing tensions and aggravating problems, especially in the Middle East," Pope Paul averred.
He underlined the necessity of "eliminating the underlying causes of situations of injustice which frequently drive people to more desperate and violent acts."
