more - Iraqi Tribunal for Saddam
from the
StrategyPage
bq. It is fortuitous that last week Iraq’s Governing Council announced its intention to create a war crimes tribunal. Several members of the council want public and open trials, preferably televised trials that demonstrate the thoroughness and fairness of the criminal investigations as well as the depravity of the crimes.
bq. Unfortunately the usual defeatists in the US and Europe sneered and dismissed the proposal, but former Saddamite sidekick Tariq Aziz took that announcement seriously.
One report has Aziz hiring French attorney Jacques Verges, who defended the Nazi Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie and the Marxist terrorist, Carlos.
bq. Saddam should ask Verges for his card.
(emphasis mine)
Sheesh!
