pudge's Journal: Ramsey Clark Kicked Out of Courtroom

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who for the last 35 years has been working to defend evil dictators and other criminals around the world, is in Baghdad defending Saddam Hussein, and was today kicked out of court by the Iraqi judge.

Clark filed a brief with the court that called the court a "mockery." The judge responded, in Arabic, "No, you are the mockery ... get him out, out." Then, in English: "Out! Out!"

Note that Clark is the same guy behind the effort to impeach Bush. He actually drafted those articles of impeachment. He thinks Bush should be impeached for "authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable," yet defends Hussein's wholesale murder of thousands of his own citizens.

Clark should be...

stripped of citizenship and exiled to his choice of: Cuba, Iran, North Korea

He's worse than a waste of oxygen...

Does anyone have any good, unbiased links to coverage of the actual trial itself? While I'm no fan of Ramsey Clark (quite the opposite), I am a fan of American-style due process, and I could understand Mr. Clark's belligerence if the claims he makes in the linked motion are anywhere in the same continent as the truth.

Not holding my breath on the last, since I haven't heard anything to indicate the Saddam trial in particular was biased in that way (although one hears these sorts of stories about shenanigans

Am I missing something here?

This confirms what we have said repeatedly--that these sentences were pre-made a long time ago. But they were announced at this time in order to consolidate the electoral campaign of George W. Bush, who is having difficulties with his constituency.

Bush isn't running again. Are they confused, or do they mean something different than what I read?
