#1 Yep, and every replacement lawyer will get bumped off as well, up to the time they move the trial to the Hague and get Carla del Ponte to take over the prosecution. If that happens, Saddam's prostate will ultimately kill him; it certainly won't be a rope.

#2 Again, just take him out and release the SOB to a mob. This smacks of the old story of killing your parents and then pleading mercy because you're now an orphan. Its the damn lawyers who are whining that the man needs to be tried. BS. Everything in life and everything in this world need not be done with lawyers [though the lawyers will disagree]. The world will be that much safer without the old cockroach.

#3 Saddam Hussein's lawyer said Wednesday that U.S.-led "occupation forces" bear some of the responsibility for the slaying of a second colleague in the trial, and the defense team signaled it may not show up for the next session without international security guarantees.

Which has no bearing whatsoever on Hussein's guilt or innocence. Stick to what you've been hired to do, Dirtbag.

#4 Darn. I thought this was going to be a crazy animal story. I think I'm tired . . .

#5 So, they refused protection...then one of them gets shot....and it's the US's fault?

Didn't the UN try that same crappy argument after they got boomed in Baghdad?

#6 Bring him to Northern Virginia. He can stay at the Quantico BOQ. It will all be over in a couple of weeks. Lawyers a'plenty, prolly do it pro-bono. He'll be back home to Iraq in time for a Christmas execution. He's a dead man walking, lets get it over with and get him launched off to virgin land.
