Seems someone agrees with Kofi Annan that Saddam should be tried in an ‘International Court:’
Saddam Hussein’s family wants the former leader to be tried by an international court instead of a special tribunal set up by the U.S.-installed Iraqi Governing Council, one of his daughters said Tuesday.
Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father appeared sedated in footage released Sunday by the U.S.-led occupation authority after his capture near his home town of Tikrit.

Clark wanting to defend Saddam is no big surprise. If the US accuses anyone of crimes against humanity, you can bet Ramsey Clark will be knocking on his door to defend him.

Verges is the international equivalent of F. Lee Bailey: I especially like “he must be presumed innocent”, which is not the way the Code Napoleon of his native France works.
Ken Hahn
I am perfectly willing to have anybody who wants to defend Saddam. The only thing I ask the lawyers to do is defend him before an Iraqi tribunal and stand liable for any violations of Iraqi law or legal ethics during the trial. Clark and Verges are not lawyers, but propagandists. They have never been held liable for their violations of international law. Let there be a moonbat convention in Baghdad and let the Iraqis try the criminals among them.

Hey, I have no problem with using international procedures here; namely, Turkish pre-trial detention facilities, North Korean interrogation techniques, and Chinese execution methods (including billing Saddam’s family for the bullet or rope).
Never let it be said that we shouldn’t share. ]:-)
