The Iraqi government says it's interrogating the person whose cell-phone pictures of the execution of Saddam Hussein found their way to TV and the Internet.

Billions of dollars are missing, mass graves are still uncovered, and countless victims will never see a murderer held to account.

Will Iraq's current leaders pursue those questions or let them go unanswered?
