To carry out Saddam Hussein will poke violence, according to Ramsey Clark

WASHINGTON - To carry out Saddam Hussein would do nothing but poke religious violences in Iraq, declared Tuesday Ramsey Clark. This former American minister for justice is currently member of the lawyer collective of the deposed Iraqi president.

"This execution would ignite a country which burns already", it has says at the time of a press conference. "I hope that the American people will realize that time always has just required the end of the executions, and it is the case here."

The prosecutors of the High Iraqi penal court required the death penalty against Saddam Hussein, judged for crimes against humanity in the massacre of 148 villagers Shiites in Doudjaïl, in 1982.

Ramsey Clark also reiterated criticisms against the conditions of course of the lawsuit. "It is impossible to have an equitable lawsuit when you do not protect all the participants from this lawsuit", Ramsey Clark affirmed, estimating that "only the United States can ensure this protection in any circumstance".

The lawyers threatened to boycott the plaidories of July 10 to protest against the assassination of three of them, of which one at the following day of the indictment, and to claim more effective safety measures. "Our witnesses are intimidated", said Mr. Clark who also asked for a protection for the witnesses of defense.

Tuesday, Iraqi justice announced that the second lawsuit of Saddam Hussein, for genocide counters Kurds in 1988 in the north of Iraq, would open on August 21.

To avoid a new "lawsuit spectacle", estimates Clark, it is necessary to ensure defense more financial means, more time and better conditions of safety that it was not the case before the opening of the first lawsuit, last October.

Let's see....
Execution of SadHam will cause violence.
Continued imprisonement of SadHam causes violence.
Release of SadHam will cause violence.

Sun rising in the morning causes violence from Muslims.
If we can't avoid the violence, might as well execute the evil
filth. One less evil being on the planet is always a good thing.




I'd say this about sums it up!

Hey, can we execute Ramsey Clark and his totalitarian jihad-lover commie pals alongside Saddam?? That would provide much-needed entertainment and catharsis for countless millions in Iraq and around the world.

Ramsey Clark is right, Saddam should never had made it to trial. There was no benefit in capturing him or holding additional trails. Hang him and leave him outside for about a week and this will do more good for the world than any other statement that could be made.

It will "provoke" more celebrating than it will violence, Ramsey.

Besides, everything good "provokes" some violence in Iraq these days as long as the terrorists and the media are here.

It's not burning. It just gets real hot outside every summer.

(Sorry....I'm having a little fun with this one. Ramsey Clark is such a laughable idiot and coupled with the Babelfish translation....this one's a riot. Very bad pun intended.)

It isn't up to the "American People" anymore, dear Ramsey. He's being tried in an Iraqi court...didn't you notice?

If you listen closely you can hear the Twilight Zone theme.
