#2 He said funds that Saddam is alleged to hold in overseas accounts also could be used in his defence. "Our job is to have this money freed up ... so that we can face all the expenses," Ludot said at a news conference in Paris... The lawyer said it was not possible to become "Don Quixotes of justice," working for nothing and assuming expenses individually, especially considering how long the trial might take. Ludot said the committee hopes to extend proceedings as much as possible. ... "Our work will be to do things in a way so that this tribunal doesnât function, so that it is paralysed for as long as possible," he added.

Typical trial lawyer plan to extend the trial until the clients funds are completely exhausted. These parasites should not be allowed to be paid from Saddam's stashed loot.

#3 Any chance the Iraqi public is aware of this? Make sure they know fully of their Arab brethren's efforts to defend their former oppressor. I'm sure that'll be received well.

#4 The idiot despot should be limited to a small defense team paid a small lump sum. Ludot should be the focus of Iraq's effort to locate stolen loot and repatriate it. All of this info should be widely disseminated in Iraq -- especially the help for the idiot despot from brother Arabs. The trial should showcase the atrocities and genocide in graphic detail, and every minute of it carried without commentary, C-SPAN style, by al-Hurrah.

And most importantly, Judge Lance Ito should NOT be assigned to the case.

#5 BAR, I don't know about Iraqis generally, but the boys at Iraq the Model piss on their fellow Arabs pretty regularly. "Thanks for all the help, guys."

#6 "diverse aid and diverse gifts" have already been donated.

Goats? Sheep? Did they set up donation cans in the Paleo metal shops? Yasser sends good thoughts and best wishes?

#7 This is to be expected -- it is in the self-interest of every dictator in the ME, and that's a shitload of shitheads, to see to it that deposed dictators are treated well. Death, no matter how much blood is on their hands, can't be an acceptable end... Heh. Wrong, 'tards. You're all coming down, sooner or later, and sooner by your own choice is better for your health.

#8 Jeez, I kinda hope Sammy IS stupid enough to give a French lawyer access to his money stash...
