Saddam's defense team wants to put Bush on trial
2005-10-26
Saddam Hussein's defense committee wants to put U.S. President George W. Bush in the dock to mirror the Baghdad trial of the toppled Iraqi leader over a Shiite massacre, a Jordanian lawyer said Tuesday. "We shall contact international and Arab lawyer associations and will put forward the proof allowing for a trial of the criminal Bush at the same time as the fake trial takes place in Iraq," Saleh Armouti told a meeting of the Amman-based Saddam defense committee. If lawyers abroad fail to take the case to court, "we shall organize it in Jordan and will invite international supporters," Armouti said, without specifying on what grounds he wanted to try Bush.

#10  I'll make you a deal. We will put Bush on trial after we try Koffi and nuke Iran. Deal?

#9  Saddam has been charged in a crime that occurred before George Bush was even Governor of Texas, I believe. So it is hard to see how his guilt or innocence on that particular charge has anything to do with GW.

#6  Good to hear from Verlaine. And a quick question. Is the defense team still gonna ask for US protection? If they are, this could be the wrong way to go about getting it.

#5  V-man! Long time, no hear. Bizzy, bizzy, huh? Lol - good on ya - I look forward to some 'splodin' HR weeners, er, their heads, I mean, lol.

If you get a chance, one question:

Have they decided if they're gonna withhold sentence from this first trial, which should be his head in a noose - hanging is the method, IIUC - and try all of the charges stacked up in the queue, first? Lotsa blather about that, but I've heard nothing definitive.

Good to hear from you - obviously you're okay. Stay that way!

#4  Your humble commenter is deeply involved in the trial, and can only add my chuckles to this particular matter. If things go well, we'll be treated to the spectacle not only of heads such as those mentioned in the article above exploding, but the slow, systematic humiliation of the arrogant, anti-US international "human rights" groups as they are forced to watch Iraqis deliver better, swifter justice than the mostly farcical international tribunals have been able to do.

#3  I figure that just about any tack looks good - compared to actually defending Saddam.

#1  I'm sure we can find a Spanish or Belgie judge to hold the trial.
