Ramsey Clarke to defend Saddam

Wednesday 29 December 2004, 20:36 Makka Time, 17:36 GMT

Ramsey Clark said Washington should also be put on trial

Former US attorney-general Ramsey Clark is to join Saddam Hussein's defence team, a spokesman for the ousted Iraqi president's lawyers says.

Ziad Khasawna said on Wednesday that Clark, who held the office of attorney-general under US president Lyndon Johnson, had "honoured and inspired" the legal team by agreeing to help defend Saddam.

The former top US justice official, who arrived on Tuesday in Jordan where the defence team is based, has become known as a left-wing lawyer and firm critic of US foreign policy since leaving office.

He visited Saddam in Baghdad in February 2003 just before the US-lead invasion and has also been involved with the defence of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, on trial for war crimes at a UN court in The Hague.

Clark comment

Clark said in the Jordanian capital Amman that his principle concern was protecting the former president's rights, who only saw a lawyer for the first time this month - a year after his capture.

"In international law, anyone accused of crime has the right to be tried by a confident, independent and impartial court, and there can be no fair trail without those qualities," he said.

"The special court in Iraq was created by the Iraqi governing council, which is nothing more than a creation of the US military occupation and has no authority in law as a criminal court," he said.

The Iraq Special Tribunal was established by the US-led administration in Iraq last December to try members of the former government.

Clark also said the US itself must be tried for the November assault on Falluja, destruction of houses, torture in prisons and its role in the deaths of thousands of Iraqis in the war.

Oh no doubt about that. I am surprised more scumbags have not jumped on this bandwagon. I hate attorneys.

All Clarke wants to do is turn this trial into a vehicle to try and slam Bush and the US. This is the type of person who gives our enemies hope, and thus extend the war even longer hoping that the US will then retreat and runaway.

Mike ... I thought Ramsey Clark was a former Democrat. Did he move to the Demo Crate party?

Ramsey Clark is pretty far out there. I don't think he is any more representative of the Democratic party than David Duke is of the Republican party.

The only thing shocking about this particular annoucement, at least to me, are the number of people who will get their panties in a knot and feign shock over the fact that Ramsey Clark continues to be Ramsey Clark.
