BAGHDAD, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The judge presiding over the trial of Saddam Hussein and seven others on charges of crimes against humanity ejected former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark from the court on Sunday for insulting the tribunal.
Clark, who heads an international team of lawyers involved in the defence, was ejected at the start of a hearing at which Saddam and two aides were convicted and sentenced to death.
The judge, Raouf Abdul Rahman, ejected Clark because he had sent a memo to Abdul Rahman including the accusation that the tribunal was making "a mockery of justice".
The judge told him in Arabic: "No, you are the mockery ... get him out, out."
Abdul Rahman then shouted in English: "Out! Out!"
"You come from America and ridicule the Iraqi people," he said.
Clark had earlier said the trial was politically influenced, and that if Saddam were sentenced to death, it would be "victors' justice".

About the time time of the VN anti-war movement there was this little drug going around. It was legal then.
It was called Osley after the one of the best producers (Stanley Osley).
Today it is called by the 1st letters of its chemical name - LSD.
Who knows if he tasted the dreams.

I don't recall exactly if LBJ used Ramsay Clark to get Marshall on the court, or just wanted to get rid of Thomas Clark. Either way, he knew that if he let it out that he wanted Ramsay Clark for AG, the father would step down so as not to hinder his son's career. It worked for LBJ but Ramsay Clark must have known he was being used, and his own ambition had ended his father's career. His tenure as AG was mediocre and unmemorable. He was predictably weaselly and squishy on crime, and achieved no notable successes. Ever since then he has been a twisted sickie, blending right in with the bulk of leftwing crackpots.

A double hanging on Pay-per-view could sure help the U.S. cover the cost of the Iraq war. Ramsey's demise would be no big loss. It would probably make the world "a better place."

Justice would be putting razor blades inside the rope so Saddam could be hung and beheaded simultaneously. Ramsey should be left alive until he can't care for himself, then a few years longer.

Interesting theory- it is quite a departure going from prosecuting the Boston Five (Benjamin Spock, William Sloan Coffin, etc) for anti-war activities to founding A.N.S.W.E.R. .

I like your theory. If even remotely true, it would
explain alot. Alas, we will probably never know
the truth this side of Glory.

All in all this trial is progressing very nicely; Saddam is to be hung and Clark may well be strung up too!
And to think all this happened while I slept peacefully in my bed.
Yawn....
