The court that will try Hussein hasn't been been formed yet. Salem Chalabi's little 'court' was merely where he was arraigned.
The actual trial is supposed to be held by a court created by the new Iraqi government after the 'January elections'. There's no way they can speed this up without speeding up the elections -- and that's not going to happen the way things are going right now.
If they manage to come up with some sort of kangaroo court for Hussein before Nov. 2nd, Saddam will have a good case that the court itself is invalid.
