Ramsey Clark Defends Saddam Hussein

According to this report, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has been added to the team of lawyers defending Saddam Hussein. This action is not surprising and quite consistent with Clark's history as an anti-American extremist. Interestingly, even the liberal BBC refers to him as a "left-wing activist."

Clark questioned the legality of the Iraq Special Tribunal, stating that protecting Saddam's rights is his principle concern. He also said the United States "must be tried for the November assault on Falluja, destruction of houses, torture in prisons and its role in the deaths of thousands of Iraqis in the war." For some reason, he didn't slip in any references to SUVs or global warming. Maybe he forgot.
