Ramsey Clark (former Democrat Atty. Gen'l) offers to represent SADDAM.

[heartsurgeon]

Linky

my fav quote from the article is:
Clark described Saddam as dignified, reasonable and an interesting person. "He is a human being," Clark said.

second favorite quote:
Clark has assisted other despised leaders before. He has consulted several times with one-time Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who is on trial in The Hague for alleged war crimes committed in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.

I wonder if he has French ancestry?

 

[Czar]

and the french have what to do with this?

 

[heartsurgeon]

the french connection
linky

 

[Red Dawn]

LOL, next Heartlessurgeon will say there is a connection between the French and Johnny Cochran

HS is either a Coulter wannabe, or a worshipper....who knows...maybe both.

 

[Jmman]

Makes sense to me....a nutcase to defend a nutcase.........

so i take this to mean you agree with Ramsey Clark, that Sadam is "dignified, reasonable and an interesting person"

your certainly entitled to your point of view.......

Ramsey Clark has been an appologist for any non-American perpetrator of war, violence, and genocide. The man really is a delusional hypocrite - I agree with him that the American government has done some horrible things abroad, but this does not mean we should be singing the praises of dictators and terrorists who are just as bad, or orders of magnitude worse.

Not to defend Saddam in the slightest, but he'll never get a fair trial. Way too embarassing for many current admin figures, given their sanction of his brutality prior to GW1. The objective is clearly to find the right legal forum with a very narrow scope as was done with Noriega. The whole message being that puppets shouldn't get uppity, try to break the strings...

Any in depth examination of Saddam's govt and crimes with wide ranging testimony would be extremely damaging to the Bushies, so it's just not gonna happen... As with Noriega, any kind of embarassing documentation is being shredded/burned as we converse, official Iraqi files totally sanitized...

History repeats itself, and one of its more candid and brutal students, Hermann Goering, said "The winners write the history." It's never been more true...

Were any American Generals ever put on trial for the atrocities against Native Americans?

Were any high ranking Americans ever put on trial for the atrocities against African Slaves?

How we Americans seem to forget our own history when it is convenient.

Don't forget a majority of Americans all have European ancestry.

I think the real question is, if the trial is somehow done internationally (The Hague, for example) would it truley undermine Iraqi sovereignty as the Iraqis are saying?

I for one am a supporter of the Iraqis doing it themselves. After the fall of the 3rd Reich, Nazis were tried in Germany (although, defended by foreign lawyers).

Heh, good old Ramsey's still at it, I see.

I'll give him this much though: The old boy never met a Nazi war criminal or <insert name of favorite dictator here> that he didn't like.

Lawyers represent criminals all the time. Clark is being a bit overly enthusiastic in his characterization of the guy, but SH is entitled to legal representation. At least until he is hanged, shot, or dismembered by an angry pack of Kurds (my personal favorite).

Some of you guys will go to any lengths to defend that TRAITOR Bush, making Clinton sound like a professor of logic with your Freshman sophistry, but someone suggests SH should have a lawyer and you act as though that notion is a moral outrage.

I'm amused.

I'm afraid the concept of justice is a bit over most people's heads. For most the fact you are arrested is evidence of your guilt. The notion that somebody is innocent till proved guilty or that they should have legal council before a court is a bothersome abstraction. We know Saddam's guilty so why not just kill him. Save us all the trouble. Vigilantes know best.

Moonbeam:

The best reason to try him is because it will be great theater. For the Fox Cartoon Network it will be an almost endless opportunity to show the world why Bush was right to invade Iraq. And most Americans, like so many here, will buy the hook and swallow the sinker, er, or something like that.

Maybe he should be tried on tv by the audience and some luck viewer gets to pull his plug.

They should make a Clinton doll out of a lump of coal the Republicans can stick between their cheeks and press to make a diamond.
