On his campaign website Representative Kucinich uses the words "accountability" and "punishment" to provide context for the killing of Saddam Hussein.
This fails to convey the sense that the "trial" was a sham, the body conducting the "trial" a creation of a foreign occupational power, not operating under Iraqi law, resulting in the killing of a person in the custody of the United States.
I've urged him to to issue a clarification, to reconside his choice of words.
I was a delegate pledged to Dennis Kucinich at the Maine Democratic Party Convention in 2004.
