Aside from the infamous
How would you like it if you worked for years on that law degree, landed a big-name client, and were then gunned down on your way to work to defend him. Gunned down by a car full of gunmen who may never see justice. Now how about if you were the second one to be killed because of this client in a month. Now…how would you feel if you were the one called in to replace this murdered lawyer? Saddam Hussein’s defense team is just in this situation after the latest murder of a lawyer defending the former dictator.
I find it amazing that after spending so much money to bring this criminal to justice, as Bush and his cadres claimed they were doing when they thought he was hiding weapons of mass destruction the USA has let his trial become such a spectacle while it’s held in a foreign country; like many detainees that are being secretly held, any rights that he would have had can be comfortably ignored. What intimidation do the killers of his lawyers hope to achieve I wonder? Shouldn’t it be clear that the intimidation of the USA would already guarantee that Saddam will be spending a very long time is a very dark hole?
