Clark is playing at "emotional blackmail" games. He is unable to defend Saddam, the way good lawyers do. Smacks of desperation. And what's he doing chatting around with "the people" to get at this data? Whose his informant. Get Ramsey Clarke on the stand.
What do you have against pigs?
Hang Ramsey, then there will be dancing in the streets of Iraq AND America!
Let's execute Saddam AND Clark and see what happens.
