#1 This is not difficult to understand. This is Hussein's own people killing off his defense team. 1st it delays the trail. 2nd if no one will defend Hussein out of concern for thier own safety then there can't be a trial. 3rd it supports the idea of turning over the Hussein trial to an out side court.

#2 Every day Saddam continues to breath provides hope and encouragement for the insurgents. His execution will be a turning point. It cannot happen soon enough.

#3 Ramsey Clark, please come defend Saddam. There is an opening just perfect for you. :)

#4 After Hamas or Islamic Jihad "militant", serving as a Saddamite attorney may well be the world's second most dangerous profession.

#6 Ramsey is the man for the job! Maybe Scott Ritter and Hans Blix can help as both investigators and witnesses for the defense.

#8 "I remember once, when I lived in Spokane, Washington, there was a gala event called "A Celebration of Heroes." The headliner was the Gulf War commander Norman Schwarzkopf. Neither the mainstream nor the alternative papers published articles, or even letters to the editor, about Schwarzkopf's war crimes. I think that holding up mass murderers as heroes is as much a problem as holding up the rich."

Ramsey Clark quote - www.thesunmagazine.org/bully.html

#11 Imagine Saddam being transported and his car being attacked. I'd feel sorry for the loss of life to the driver and entourage....
It's stupid that so much time has gone by with Saddam not being punished yet.
Man he better not be able to squirrel his way out of this one.
We should have left him in his hole, shooting at anything that tried to pop up out of the hole. Sometimes we're just too nice, Gitmo???
