I think he was referring specifically to the term "crimes against humanity", i.e., not asking whether Saddam had committed them, but who invented the term. A justified question I think, after all, killing enemy leaders is a well established tradition in human history, but doing it because of "crimes against humanity" seems to be a rather recent phenomenon.
