Former US attorney general urges “just” trial for Saddam
Baghdad, Iraq Press, December 27, 2003 – Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark wants to see a “just” court to try the ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
US troops have captured Saddam Hussein after an eight-month hunt and Clark believes the current Iraqi interim officials will not administer a “just trial because the America has handpicked them.”
In a telephone interview, Clark also expected a rise in attacks against US troops occupying the country.
“I believe anti-American operations will continue,” despite the arrest of Saddam Hussein, he said.
In the nearly two weeks since Saddam Hussein was captured there has been no lull in terrorist attacks in the country.
On Wednesday three American soldiers were killed in a bomb explosion north of Baghdad.
Earlier, a truck bomb blast killed at least four people and injured 20 in the northern Kurdish city of Arbil.
Clark has even said that he is ready to defend Saddam Hussein if he is tried before an international tribunal.
“All those who took part in violence, among them the officials who waged war against Iraq, must be brought to justice,” he said.
Clark has time and time again taken on the US foreign polices.
He has been one of the strongest voices against the US-led wars including the last one in Iraq which put an end to the regime of Saddam Hussein.
He said his opposition to US policies stems from principles “freedom and peace” which the American people believe in.
“Every minute we call for peace, liberty, freedom of expressions and religion and reinstatement of stability in the world.
“When (US President George W.) Bush came, everything changed. We went to the streets and denounced the war.
“Now we are left with the option of confronting and defying the American government,” he said.
