That's a political comment (or insinuation) that the BBC should possibly not be making. They could as easily say that the Old Bailey is American backed, insofar as the US respects the rule of law in this country and actively participates in the military defence of this country.
The BBC is trying to imply that this may not be Iraqis dealing with an Iraqi but puppets taking care of American business. Given that few Iraqis have any affection for Saddam, personally I think he is lucky to get a rope and not a lynch mob.
