#1 Come on, think about it. He has cornered the market. Can you think of any other time where if a Lawyer loses (which Nancy boy here usually does) that he still wins. He doesn't care about Saddam. It's FREE money and at the same time this media whore gets to scream. "Look at me! I'm a moonbat Socialist! Woo Hoo" Sad but true.

#2 See my Clark Conspiracy Theory post of a few days ago.
No, this isn't one of the many conspiracy claims BY Clark, this one is ABOUT Clark.

#3 Sammy's got to be feeling confident here. His star attorney is out grandstanding at every public event he can stick his nose in. Clark uses every opportunity to panhandle for money to fund his seditious activities against the US. It has been years since he actually had a meaningfull win and now his big input to Sammy's defense is "Only another court - one that is actually competent, independent and impartial - can lawfully sit in judgmentâ a change of venue? Probably to the Hague where Sammy can wait for decades before trial. Somehow I do not think the Iraqi Special Tribune, now that Clark has just deeply insulted them, will give this more than just a polite review and then hang him.

#4 Why do these guys always end up looking like Dennis Kucinich, the incredible wind-up US presidential candidate?

#6 Uhh, when's the last time this guy tried a case? Not talking about trying cases, I mean, but actually examining witnesses in a courtroom?

#7 ..that the United States has already destroyed any hope of legitimacy, fairness or even decency by its treatment and isolation of the former President..

Really, who gives a damn about Hussein besides idiots like Clark? Where was Clark's concern during Hussein's rule when the mass graves found so far in Iraq were being filled up?

In order to be the rightful recipient of fairness and decency, it would be a good idea to demonstrate an ability to be capable of both, and Saddam Hussein doesn't fit that bill.
