The legal team has enlisted an unspecified number of lawyers from the US, Britain and France to assist in the possible lawsuit

At the head of the list is Ramsey Clark, no doubt.

One question, asshole: Who's going to take the US into custody for the trial?

This is more proof we shouldn't have ousted Madman Insane's murdering cronies - we should have killed them.

There's still time....

#2 Al-Khasawneh said the legal team was also encouraged by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annanâs statements describing Iraqâs invasion as "illegal".
Nice going, a**hole. Guarantee that that statement will figure very prominently in the defense & media circus to come.

Will someone please indict Kofi the Klown, already?

#3 Ever wonder who pays for all these lawyers? There are hundreds working on Gitmo cases alone.

#5 sounds like a heart attack - 'afghan police-style' - may be in order for a couple of these wingnuts and their clients

#6 Members of Saddam Husseinâs ousted regime are considering suing the Bush administration in the World Court for alleged war crimes in Iraq,..

If it ever came to pass, could the lawsuit be dismissed on grounds of hypocrisy???

#7 So who is paying for all the lawyers, and where are the checks coming from, Syria, Switzerland. This is like an international RICO case. Follow the Sunni Money.

#8 Both FOX and CNN had author-commentators whom argued that President Bush's or America's actions in Iraq constitute "war crimes" andor "crimes against humanity" by Bush's/America's wilful violation or dismissal of the UNO and International Laws/Treaties. Once more the USA is guilty of disobeying the UNO by obeying it - funny how the UNO, INTERPOL, and its UNICC are ignoring the help Saddam got from France and Russia, etc. in violating UN-restrictions against Saddam, espec when it came to helping the Clintons and the Anti-American agendists discredit and humiliate America, eventually to destroy us for Socialism, Communism, and OWG where the USA is just another weak, minor, and likely anti-sovereign nation and Sovietized Socialist [World] Republic, the USSA and CPUS, amongst all others.
