Iraq
Saddam mouthpieces to boycott court
2005-10-27
Whew, wotta relief. On with the trial ...
AMMAN - Lawyers representing Saddam Hussein announced on Wednesday that they will boycott the special tribunal trying the ousted Iraqi president until they are given better security. “In view of the dangerous security conditions in Iraq and their impact on Iraqi members of the defence team, along with the never-ending threats against them and their families ... a decision has been taken to fully boycott the Iraqi Special Tribunal,” said a statement issued by the Jordan-based team including lead counsel Khalil Al Dulaimi.

The decision followed the killing of Saadun Janabi, an attorney representing one of Saddam’s co-defendants, just a day after the opening of the trial.

#6  If the French could bring their Vichy to trial, then the Iraqis can do the same. They'll do a better job of cleaning house than the UN types. And how long has the Slobadon Molosavic circus trial been running?

#5  To me it looks like misdirection to attempt to get this trial moved out of Iraq (prolly to the Hague or somewhere else more 'neutral).

#4  Move Clark up to the target front seat. He wants attention as badly as Ms. Cindy.

#3  I for one, am waiting on pins and needles to find out if Saddam Hussein is guilty.

#2  This is a melodrama where everyone knows the outcome.

Just hang the thug and get on with it. I hear Saddam fashions himself a real "swinger" anyway.

#1  Lol. If they're not Sunnis, this should give them honorary status, heh. Face the music, fools. Rope-a-dope tactics won't work. The boy's bad, bad to the bone, and he's gonna burn. You wanna bail? Then bail. Asstards.
