So Saddam's head lawyer has decided to call it quits. Ziad al-Khasawneh was resigned because he was ticked off that certain American members of Saddam's defense team (did you get that?) were trying to get him to tone down his criticism of America and the Iraqi government. I guess they felt it didn't help their case. Wooptie friggin' doo! I don't see much of a chance for Saddam to get off. The thing that got me about this story was the size of this guy's legal team. Here's an exerpt from the AP story.
Saddam's legal team includes 1,500 volunteers and at least 22 lead lawyers who come from several countries, including the United States, France, Jordan, Iraq and Libya.
Can you believe it? That's certainly more than the legal teams of O.J. and Jacko combined! Who are all these Americans defending him? And who's paying for this army of lawyers? Is Saddam paying for it with money he stole from Iraq? Or are we paying for it?
