If the Iraqi's aren't ready, we need to either start proceedings or turn him over to the International Court so they can. I'm sure the IC will allow plenty of input by Iraqi leaders.

IMO, he should be tried by Iraqis. No doubt the Iraqis agree. The last thing we want is for Saddam to not be held accountable for his alleged crimes. The current infrastructure doesn't generate much faith that he can be held without significant threat of release or escape. Charge him under Iraqi law and hold him in a secure detention center (right now that means US controlled detention center).
