Ramsey Clark

"Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said... that he would represent Saddam, but added it was unlikely an international court would let a foreigner who didn't speak Arabic and wasn't trained in the Arabic legal tradition to appear in an Iraqi court."

Ramsey "Moonbat" Clark is going to be cheated out of an opportunity to defend an enemy of America and to slander the U.S. before the world media? Color me skeptical. Only when Saddam's trial actually begins, and we find that Ramsey is not there at the defense table will I accept this as a fact.

Prediction: Even if he is not formally a member of Saddam's defense team, when the microphones are arrayed outside that Iraqi courtroom, Ramsey Clark will be there, with bells on, to spew his venom against his own country. He has lately come to the defense of Slobodan Milosevic at the ICC and Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a leader of the Rwandan genocide. He pleaded on behalf of Saddam Hussein at the UN, against any resolution authorizing an invasion. He also defended PLO leaders in a lawsuit brought by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the elderly Jewish American who was murdered by being pushed overboard from the Achille Lauro cruise ship in his wheelchair, in front of his wife. There is much more, but you get the idea:

If you are an enemy of America, you have a firm friend in Ramsey Clark.
