"John Adams defended the British Soldiers for the Boston Massacre. If we don't supply Saddam with a fair trial, we are no better than he was while he was in power. I thought the President hit the nail on the head yesterday. He said that Saddam would be treated fairly unlike he treated the people in Iraq."

Thanks for bringing some sanity and common sense into this forum.

The sad thing is that, despite the heinousness of Saddam's crimes, the families of his victims will see little satisfaction when Saddam is put on trial and executed. There's nothing that'll give them back their loved ones--and no death can be as excrucitating as what Saddam did to his victims.

I don't think the outrage you see here is directed at the notion of Saddam having a lawyer, it's directed at the treasonous scum that is called Ramsey Clark. That's how I feel, anyway.

He said Saddam would be brought to "justice"...that is the side of "fairness" that you aren't perceiving, the part that puts you to death after a "fair" trial. Justice has a bite when you are found tipping the scales on the wrong side!
