' Free Saddam or else...'
29/10/2006 17:19 - (SA)
Amman - Saddam Hussein's defence team has drafted a letter to US President George W Bush warning of dire consequences if an Iraqi court issues a verdict against the ousted Iraqi president for crimes against humanity.
In a copy of the letter received by AFP in Jordan on Sunday, lead Iraqi lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi also urged Bush to set free Saddam and put an end to the trial which he described again as illegal and a farce.
"We believe that it is necessary to stop this farcical trial and set free President Saddam Hussein, and all the prisoners, because this is the only solution for your troops and your difficult position in Iraq," Dulaimi said.
"This is also the best way for the future of Iraq, the region and the world," he added.
He warned that a verdict by the Iraqi High Tribunal against Saddam and seven co-defendants over the killing of 148 Shi'ite villagers in the Iraqi village of Dujail could plunge Iraq and the region into violence. The villagers were executed after a 1982 attempt to kill Saddam.
"This decision will set ablaze anew the country and plunge the entire region into the unknown...," he said.
The Iraqi lawyer, who heads the Amman-based defence team, said the verdict due by the court was timed to coincide with US Congressional elections.
"There is an unfair decision that has already been taken by the court to eliminate President Saddam Hussein in time with the US Congressional elections, through which the US administration seeks to safeguard its position," he said.
Dulaimi also told Bush: "You will risk your troops who have lost control over Iraq and you will place in danger your interests and the security of the region."
Wild Thing's comment.....
Hmmmmm, so let's see now. Back on October 6th 2006, just a few weeks ago, we heard how loather of America Ramsey Clark said.....Saddams Death Will Unleash 'catastrophic' Violence. More on that at found at this post here at Theodore's World.
And now Saddam's lead Iraqi lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi and his letter he drafter. My goodness, my knees are shaking from all these doom and gloom threats, the sky will surely fall if Saddam is punished for his crimes apparently.
He sounds just like that Muslim doctor I used to work with. He also sounds a lot like the Democrats, " we never should have gone into Iraq", " we should have left Saddam in power", and on and on.
What a bunch of bunk! OH how I wish these lawyers had a website, one that I could post at and tell them just what I think about them and their Saddam.

Justice would be to hang him as soon as the gallows is cleared of the body of Ramsey Clark, then hoist Saddam slowly until his toes are just a half inch off the deck. But if they insist set him free, just as long as they turn him over to the Kurds for dispensation of justice.

I've always wondered what we would do if the court found Saddam Not Guilty.

Bob, oh my gosh, can you imagine. That would be so horrible. After all his crimes and to get off like that.
