Lawyer says Saddam tortured
EFL - life immitates ScrapplefaceA Jordanian lawyer who claims he represents Saddam Hussein said he believes the ousted Iraqi leader was subjected to torture, although a copy of a letter reportedly sent to his daughters seems to show the ex-president in good spirits. Mohammed Rashdan said he had a copy of a January 21 report by the International Committee of the Red Cross that said the detaineeâs health was good but that he was "slightly wounded." It gave no details on the injury. "This is blatant proof that the Iraqi president was subjected to physical and moral torture and violence," said Rashdan, who says Saddamâs wife appointed him as lawyer shortly after the ex-leaderâs December 13 capture.
