Sammy asks to meet Ramsey
2005-07-27
Lawyers for former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein have said he has asked to meet a former US attorney general who is a member of his defence team, but he is yet to hear from the authorities. A statement on Monday issued by the team, which goes by the acronym ISNAD, said Saddam asked the special tribunal set up to try him, for a meeting with former US attorney general Ramsey Clark, but his request had not been answered yet.

The statement, which was sent to Aljazeera.net, said the team's representative in Baghdad, lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi, had met Saddam on Thursday, The statement expressed concern over the lack of access for Saddam, and said it could not start preparing his defence unless Saddam enjoyed full access to his counsel.

#9  Btw, Jack, you were right about Oswald being wobbly, but can you believe that Bobby tried to rat us out too? What a weasel, he thought it might score him some points with Cronkite. We took care of him, though, and even managed to blame it on a Pali. Two buzzards with one stone, eh?

#8  Good to hear from you, Jack.
Sorry about the trial thing. Someday the truth will come out and you will get the Medal of Freedom for silencing that little rat Oswald before he could blow our cover and tell the world that JFK was shot for being a KGB mole.

#6  Ramsey Clark was AG at the time of the Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations in 1968. Moonbat conspiracy theorists have tried to implicate everyone else who was in government at the time, but Ramsey, the most obvious suspect, gets a complete pass.
Clark's moonbattery has been so slavish, so dogmatic, so innocent of even the pretense of logic, for so long that other moonbats actually find it embarrassing. One wonders what is really driving him. As AG, for example, he presided over the actual COINTELPRO project for harrassing anti-war radicals. As soon as he left office in 1969, he turned 180 degrees, and launched his career of slavish obedience to the lefty line.

I want to suggest a conspiracy theory of my own: leftist traitors somehow beat everyone else to the smoking gun on Clark's involvement in the '68 assassinations, and they have simply been blackmailing him ever since. Some of the luminaries of the pop-treason movement were quite young and many have gone on to positions of power and influence in business, media, and government. It is not far-fetched that they could still be monitoring their most useful tool and feeding him his cues.

#2  Actually, I remember when LBJ decided to put a civil rights' face in the AG' office, as a legislative flunkey. Ramsey Clark was always a one trick pony, but used that trick to posit credentials that he never had. Supposedly, J Edgar Hoover would go straight to the Oval Office at the time, when the FBI needed some legal clarification. Clark was wallpaper.

#1  Ok, what does ISNAD stand for? Other than being DANSI backwards, that is.

Saddam:"Clark? Yeah, sure. Does he have any cousins as stupid as he is? Bring 'em along, the more the merrier. I haven't got a snowball's chance in hell anyway, so I might as well be entertained..."
