If we believe ourselves to be more civilized than Mr Hussein than we must conduct ourselves in a civilized manner. That rules out torture, detainment without due process, murder, etc, etc., regardless of whether you are the "good guy" or not. The Red Cross is simply following the civil guidelines that they have set before themselves. The chance of Saddam ever being released are nil, but that does not excuse turning our backs on the traditions of justice that were a given rationalization for the invasion in the first place.
