Ramsey Clark, a former US attorney general who is one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers, said that any death sentence against the former Iraqi president would increase violence in the strife-torn country.
"It seems clear that a guilty verdict will set off catastrophic violence" and that a death sentence would be even worse, Clark told a Washington press conference.
"It's hard to know how many Iraqis, dozens, hundreds, thousands, will die because of the sentence," he said.

Actually that's a fair trade. I'd pay to watch too.

I dunno - mebbe Ramsey's right, mebbe he's wrong. There's only one way to find out. Hang the sumbitch. We can always apologize later.

Anything like the catastrophic violence Saddam unleashed for thirty years?

Why doesn't Ramsey walk the streets of Bahgdad and take a poll?

Is this the same Ramsey Clark that worked for the UFO book writer who was "in trouble" with the government for writing a book about the UFO event(?) at Bentwater, UK?
I vote for a firing squad with Sean Penn as a human shield...

Really? Probably hard to tell ... anyway, bottom line, Hussein should have been dealt with a bullet to the head, or a grenade dropped into his underground hiding hole, the day he was captured. Would have saved an enormous amount of time, effort and expense ...

Fine. Let's shoot Ramsey Clark instead.

Sounds like a threat. Ramsey belongs on trial as a collaborator.

His maniacal sons are dead and he needs to join them. I think it's a shame it's taken so long.
The people of Iraq will never be completely sure he's not going to come back until he's dead and those who continue to fuel the fighting in hopes of bringing back the days of their money and power will get a dose of reality once he's executed and gone.

Ramsey Clark is a complete as8hole. Along with McCain.
I don't understand why when you put retired military in front of a camera, they become pacifists. The guys I know would take out the enemy in a heartbeat.

They should have shot him dead within minutes of capture. It would have been the best thing for both countries.

Who is paying Ramsey's fees and expenses? Or is he independently wealthy?

I see the hanging of Saddam as an excellent chance to show up the few remaining supporters he has. Every Baathist, al-Qaeda, and other villain will have to show that they still have power left.
But by now, the Iraqi army and police are almost fully ready, so that if those creeps try it on, surprise!, the US army won't be in the way of the new Iraqi government just thumping the living daylights out of the unreconstructed bastards.
Baghdad is being prepared for, among other things, the hanging of Saddam. When the day arrives, that city will be as tight as a drum.

* Ramsey Clark :
One such sympathizer might be Ramsey Clark, the former Attorney General for the Lyndon Johnson administration. In 1992, Clark founded the International Action Center, which enjoys the continuing support of the ex-Trotskyist, pro-Stalinist Workers World Party. While the original teachings of Karl Marx are decidedly atheistic, Clark sees a natural alliance. "Islam has probably a billion and a half adherents today. And it is probably the most compelling spiritual and moral force on earth today. (source). "Islam is the best chance the poor of the planet have for any hope of decency in their lives. It is the one revolutionary force that cares about humanity..." (source) ------ "September 29," By Gerry Daly, September 26, 2001

1992 : (RAMSEY CLARK FOUNDS THE IAC) In 1992, Clark founded the International Action Center, which enjoys the continuing support of the ex-Trotskyist, pro-Stalinist Workers World Party. The International Action Center is an umbrella group which shares its offices and its telephones with such groups as Iraq Sanctions Challenge, Peace for Cuba, U.S. Out of Korea Committee, Coalition to Stop U.S. Intervention in the Mideast, and Millions for Mumia, which works to free cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal who was convicted using evidence obtained under the powers of anti-terrorist legislation. The structure of the groups, including how frequently new ones appear and disappear, and including how much of their funding comes through charitable donations, is very similar to terrorist networks and cells. ------ "September 29," By Gerry Daly, September 26, 2001

Just announce the day, the place and time and turn Saddam loose. The Iraqi people will give him swift justice.
