Clark's Clever Defense of Saddam

Posted by Dave Blount at March 2, 2006 6:19 AM

Saddam Hussein may just have a legitimate defense if he is able to appeal the conviction that is surely coming his way for some of his many crimes against humanity. Thanks to his loony-tunes lawyer Ramsey Clark, he will be in an excellent position to plead incompetent representation.

From AFP, via Generation Why?:

Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney general who is helping to defend Saddam, has submitted a motion recently claiming the judge "is not impartial and has a manifested bias against the defendant". ...

The defence claims Abdel Rahman is biased because he is a native of the Kurdish village of Halabja, the target of a 1988 chemical attack in which some 5,000 people, including women and children, were killed.

In other words, Rahman can't judge Saddam for committing genocide because — like everyone else in the country to one degree or another — he was affected by it.

Thanks to V the K for the tip, and to Doug for pointing out that Clark himself is tainted by bias in a case involving a terrorist dictator. After all, according to his fellow moonbats Clark is from the world's greatest terrorist nation — the USA.
