| Saddam's Jordan-Based Legal Team Dissolved |
| 2005-08-08 |
| Saddam Hussein's family said Monday it has dissolved his Jordan-based legal team, canceling the power of attorney it had given to international lawyers in a move seen as reorganizing Saddam's legal counsel ahead of his upcoming trial. In an "urgent" statement, Saddam's family said it has appointed Iraqi lawyer Khalil Duleimi as Saddam's "one and sole legal counsel." Duleimi was part of the Jordan-based legal team for the past year and attended some of Saddam's initial court hearings in Baghdad. I was so looking forward to Ramsey Clark's brilliant defense strategy. |

| #3 All the defense team has to do is read the full text in court of Saddam's latest masterpiece Get Out, Damned One. They will immediately either declare him insane and send him on his merry way or shoot themselves from boredom in which case he escapes. |

| #2 Actually, TH, you just perfectly described why this case was never going to be allowed anywhere near the ICT and will be tried in Iraq by Iraqis. He'll be convicted before year-end, is my guess. |
