From AP (emphasis mine):

Iraq's interim government voted Tuesday to establish a war crimes tribunal to prosecute top members of Saddam Hussein's regime, two people who attended the meeting said....

One Governing Council member, Younadem Kana, told The Associated Press that the court's proceedings would be open to the Iraqi public - and possibly broadcast on television....

The law calls for Iraqi judges to hear cases presented by Iraqi lawyers, with international experts serving only as advisers....

It remained unclear whether the law included the death penalty, although Kana said most council members agreed it should - "like in Texas."...


Yikes!
