French lawyer to defend Saddam
The French lawyer who defended Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie and guerrilla Carlos the Jackal has confirmed he will defend Saddam Hussein. Jacques Verge said Saddam's nephew had chosen him to represent the former Iraqi president. Mr Verges, who is also defending former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz, said he would lead Saddam's defence, supported by a dozen other French lawyers.
Ummm... Carlos is in jug, and seems to be looking forward to more years in jug. Barbie got life after a trial the had everything but circus clowns and elephants.
