French Lawyer for Saddam
From the BBC:A French lawyer who made his reputation defending some of the world's most notorious figures says he will take on Saddam Hussein as his latest client.
In his long career, Jacques Verges defended Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, Carlos the Jackal and former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic.
Mr Verges says the request came in a letter from Saddam Hussein's nephew, Ali Barzan al-Takriti.
He says he will also defend former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz.
He will be supported by a dozen other French lawyers to mount a defence case.
Matt's Chat
This is just too easy...I wonder if this guy was paid off in oil like the French government was...
Mark's Remarks
I heard that John Kerry was too busy to defend this monster, and John Edwards was too concerned about two Iraqs....Leave it to the French to want to jump to the aid of this monster. Leave it to the French, because they will give him defense in exchange for Saddam's silence on their deceit and duplicity of the world community.
