Considering he wasn't exactly doing the regime any favours by going round murdering, raping and maiming people I don't see why Saddam didn't slam his son in an asylum or at least put him in house arrest in one of his palaces, sure it could be construed as a sign of weakness but I hear that dictators aren't exactly renowned of loyalty to family members and surely the positives of having Uday confined would outweigh the negatives?
shareBecause he was as bad?
Lowering people into mincing machines is 'not nice'?
Yes but he wasn't going round chopping people up Ted Bundy-style and Uday made the regime a lot of enemies.

apparently he did , well for 3 month's
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uday_Hussein
"As punishment for the murder, Saddam briefly imprisoned his son and sentenced him to death; however Uday probably served only three months in a private prison"
He did apparently cut up some with an electric carving knife who was his Dad's best mate and pimp.Although he was a valet not a general as in the film.
uday shot a christian by mistake when he was drunk, king husein of jordan helped releasing him. saddam was a man of honor and didn't deal with pimps.

From what I recall in news stories, Saddam did seem to be distancing himself from his son around the time of the assassination attempt that left him crippled. Perhaps he knew the boy wasn't President material but was withdrawing his power slowly, rather than appearing to the country around him like a disowning father?
