Saddam's team 'out of tribunal'
2005-08-02
Saddam Hussein's lawyers are refusing to take part in any further legal proceedings until the Iraqi tribunal acknowledges an attack against the former dictator and guarantees the safety of all defendants and attorneys, one his lawyers has said. Members of Saddam's defence team claimed the former Iraqi president was attacked during a court appearance last week. The government denied the claim.
But lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi, who attended the court appearance, insisted the allegation was true and demanded the government acknowledge it.

#3  Anybody remember ol' Nicky "Nosferatu" Ceausescu's harpy of a wife screaming "You can't do this! Don't you know WHO I AM?" just before the firing squad opened up on 'em?

#1  Well they have that alternative of letting him hang without representation. They will however look even more like the total fools they are.

They just can't get it through their heads, Saddam isn't calling any shots anymore.
