Ramsey Clark ~ Saddam's Activist (Dumbass) Lawyer?

Okay, ya' just gotta ask yourself, "What in the HELL is wrong with this cat!?" Anyone who agressively volunteers his service to defend Saddam Hussein has got some kind of agenda - and it has nothing to do with justice nor conscientious law. But this is not the first time the nefarious former Attorney General Ramsey Clark has stepped up to defend bloodthirsty villains. Back in the day, he defended the PLO, the Branch Davidians and, more recently, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

And that's not even half the story on this Dumbass! He has traveled to points all over the globe, criticising the United States at every turn. During the Hostage Crisis in Iran he flew to Tehran to attend a conference entitled The Crimes of America. He has since accused his own country of all manner of crimes - ranging from genocide to war crimes.

Clark left Amman this morning again for Baghdad and his new role as "Advisor" to Saddam. And his excuse for pushing himself on the defense of the "Butcher of Baghdad"?

"Everyone needs his own lawyer"

On the sad conditions of his new client:

"He has been held in total isolation, he hasn't seen any members of his family, any friends, anyone he knew before. When we first met him a week ago on Monday, it was very short and it was a social meeting, because he hadn't seen anyone for such a long time you don't feel like talking business."

His first tactic will be to prove the courts are illegitimate:

"The court has no authority or power to proceed until it establishes that it's legal," Clark said. "An illegal court has no right to arrest people, to hold people and to try people."

Clark has also expressed outrage over security for the legal teams of Saddam and his Baathist co-defendants, as two lawyers have been murdered.

"There's nothing in place to protect them, which is really an outrage," he said. "It's dangerous for them every day, and it's more dangerous every day they appear in court. So we want that protection in place."

While it is true that defendants have the right to a defense, this man is a former U.S. Attorney General who is prostituting himself out to thugs and enemies of his own country. And while I don't condone violence against attorneys in Iraq, if the next bullet should happen to find itself in his treacherous head, I will probably go straight to hell for laughing at this ridiculous shitferbrains who has done everything but sport an explosive vest (not a bad idea - so long as it goes off prematurely!).

Mr. Clark, DOTW salutes you!
