Ramsey Clark To Represent Saddam Hussein

HeadlineDec 29, 2004

In other Iraq news, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has joined the legal defense team for former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. On Tuesday he flew to Jordan to meet with other attorneys representing Hussein. Clark said, “In international law, anyone accused of a crime has the right to be tried by a confident, independent and impartial court.” He went on to say “The special court in Iraq was created by the Iraqi governing council, which is nothing more than a creation of the US military occupation and has no authority in law as a criminal court.”
