Lawyer says Saddam tortured
2004-06-11
EFL - life immitates Scrappleface
A 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 detainee’s 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 Saddam’s wife appointed him as lawyer shortly after the ex-leader’s December 13 capture.

#18  Lawyer says Saddam tortured

It's about time! Although fairly common knowledge, at least Saddam's lawyer is finally admitting that Iraqis were brutalized by Hussein's regime.

Oh, I get it, Saddam conscience is finally overcome by remorse for his misdeeds ... no, wait ...

What? Hold on a minute! How is it possible for something inhuman to be tortured?

#11  The bearded wonder does not know the meaning of torture if we release him to the Shiites and Kurds.

You mean like the closing scene in the movie "Braveheart".

#4  Good one Robert!

This is blatant proof that the Iraqi president was subjected to physical and moral torture and violence

So what, he's an animal devoid morality. What are you going to say after that fair trial and quick hangin' he can expect?

#3  I got my hopes up that Saddam was tortured, and shoot, this sentence pops out and dashes my hopes:
