| Saddam’s Lawyer Crying About "Access" to Client |
| 2004-05-10 |
| Saddam Hussein’s defense lawyers said Monday they had received no response from the U.S. administration in Iraq and the International Committee of the Red Cross to repeated requests to see their client. Saddahm? Oh, yeah, he’s around here somewhere. Just look for the lice bitten guy that looks like he belongs in front of a 7-11 with a picture of the president on his cell wall. Lawyers representing the ousted leader also said they were ready to represent Iraqi prisoners abused by U.S. and British soldiers, whose pictures angered people around the world. Can you say contingency fees? Can you say retirement on a tropical island? Washington has said 66-year-old Saddam, whose interrogation was being led by the Central Intelligence Agency, should be tried in Iraq. Yeah - the CIA has to put clothes on him and take off the dog-collar before anyone can see him. Salem Chalabi, a U.S.-educated lawyer in charge of administering the special tribunal that will try Saddam, said he expected prosecutors to seek the death penalty for the former Iraqi strongman and officials of his Baath Party. I vote for a necktie party in the square where they tore down his statue, and leave the body hanging to have rotten veggies tossed, and so that the crows and vultures can have a snack. French Lawyer Jacques Verges, who said in March that Saddam’s nephew had asked him to defend the former Iraqi dictator, was not a member of the group, Rashdan said. Gee, I wonder why? |
