Soon Saddam will be facing the ultimate judge and will have to honestly account for what he has done without propaganda, Ramsey Clark or concern from world opinion.
Saddam's lawyer urges world to block his handover to Iraqi authorities
BAGHDAD, Iraq Saddam Hussein's lawyer is calling on world leaders to stop the U-S from handing him over to Iraqi authorities.
Saddam was sentenced to death for the 1982 killings of 148 Shiites in the northern city of Dujail (doo-ZHAYL'). Iraq's high court rejected an appeal of the conviction and sentence on Tuesday, saying the former Iraqi leader should be hanged within 30 days.
An official close to Iraq's prime minister has said that Saddam will remain in U-S custody until the day of his execution.
Today, lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi (kah-LEEL' ahl-doo-LAY'-mee) is insisting that Saddam is a prisoner of war, and international conventions forbid him from being handed over to those he described as Saddam's adversaries. He also warned that turning over Saddam would increase the sectarian violence in Iraq.
