'Free Saddam or else...' 29/10/2006 17:19 - (SA)
Amman - Saddam Hussein's defence team has drafted a letter to US President George W Bush warning of dire consequences if an Iraqi court issues a verdict against the ousted Iraqi president for crimes against humanity.
In a copy of the letter received by AFP in Jordan on Sunday, lead Iraqi lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi also urged Bush to set free Saddam and put an end to the trial which he described again as illegal and a farce.
"We believe that it is necessary to stop this farcical trial and set free President Saddam Hussein, and all the prisoners, because this is the only solution for your troops and your difficult position in Iraq," Dulaimi said.
"This is also the best way for the future of Iraq, the region and the world," he added.
He warned that a verdict by the Iraqi High Tribunal against Saddam and seven co-defendants over the killing of 148 Shi'ite villagers in the Iraqi village of Dujail could plunge Iraq and the region into violence. The villagers were executed after a 1982 attempt to kill Saddam.
"This decision will set ablaze anew the country and plunge the entire region into the unknown...," he said.
The Iraqi lawyer, who heads the Amman-based defence team, said the verdict due by the court was timed to coincide with US Congressional elections.
"There is an unfair decision that has already been taken by the court to eliminate President Saddam Hussein in time with the US Congressional elections, through which the US administration seeks to safeguard its position," he said.
Dulaimi also told Bush: "You will risk your troops who have lost control over Iraq and you will place in danger your interests and the security of the region."
Just shoot the bastard!
he would be promptly released to the nearest cemetery.
Who,Sadaam or his lawyer? They might be able to get both of them with one round.
This is also the best way for the future of Iraq, the region and the world," he added.
Yeah, because that worked so well before. :eyeroll:
What's the difference? Two dead pieces of s--- are better than one any day...
Just shoot the bastard!""
It is really too bad that the spider hole just wasn't grenaded and covered over in the first place. Wonder how many rimes the soldiers who found him have wished they just killed him and stopped this nonsense???
The term extortion comes to mind.
Lol, yup, and the lawyer can shovel in the first spade of dirt.
Just release him to the Kurds.
Are they gonna taunt us empty-headed animal food trough-wipers againah?
In case the lawyer hasn't noticed, President Bush does not respond well to threats like this.
He will soon be free of the inconvenience of his trial. The noose tightening around his neck will free him to his 72 virgins, may he soon experience that fate.
I might some what agree. If there was an under discovered island somewhere we could place him on, that is, without food
and, shelter and, no way he could come into human contact as long as he might live.
I will not be in the least surprised when Saddam again rules Iraq... And we will applaud him. Just watch. (THIS is how bizarre the world seems to have become...)
I can just picture that eyeroll, Allegra. What buffoons these people are. Let loose this tyrannical brutal thug? Loose him with the death penalty.
Good point, and the US will never be trusted by anyone again, especially those that we have promised freedom to.
