Ramsey Clark joining Saddam's defense team
Former US attorney general joins Saddam defence team
Julian Borger in Washington, Thursday December 30, 2004, The Guardian
Ramsey Clark, a former US attorney general, has joined Saddam Hussein's legal team to contest before a special tribunal charges of committing wholesale atrocities, it was announced yesterday.
Good. I would like to know how much of the atrocities reported were propaganda. We know that the mass graves were over inflated. We know the incubator stories were just that, stories. We know there were NO WMDs.
I think what worries the most is that our country harps on and on about Iraq not abiding by the UN Resolutions, yet we look the other way for Isreal, Isreal and other countries. Yes, I know I have Isreal linking twice - different links - both are interesting.
I am glad that Mr. Clark is adding his knowledge to the team, though, it might be to keep covered up, our knowledge, approval, and assistance of a lot of happenings in the 70s and 80s.
I wonder what Donald Rumsfield knows about it?

I don't think you need to worry about Ramsey Clark helping to cover up U.S. responsbility for recent Iraq history. In 1994 he published a book (The Fire This Time, International Action Center) charging that the White House deliberately manipulated Saddam Hussein into invading Kuwait and has otherwise been misportraying Saddam as an external threat as a pretext for U.S. militarism in the Middle East.
This view is little discussed and often rejected even by American progressives, but I suspect that this unpopularity has less to do with the historical evidence than with having to accept total responsbility for what we've been doing to Iraq for the last fourteen years.
