From today's Washington Times "Inside the Beltway"column:
Kristinn Taylor, president of the local Free Republic chapter, was walking through the concourse of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon when he spotted one of Saddam Hussein's attorneys, Ramsey Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson. "As we walked by each other in the uncrowded terminal, I made a slashing motion across my neck and said to him, 'It's too bad about Saddam,' " in reference to the deposed Iraqi tyrant's failed judicial appeal to avert his death sentence. At that point, he said, Mr. Clark "glanced back at me with a hangdog look and nodded his head in sad agreement."
Mr. Clark last year explained in an op-ed essay in the Los Angeles Times why he was willing to defend Hussein. He acknowledged that a majority of the media were dismissive of him. " 'There goes Ramsey Clark again,' they seemed to say. 'Isn't it a shame? He used to be attorney general of the United States and now look at what he's doing.' "
He's not deterred. "The United States, and the Bush administration in particular, engineered the demonization of Hussein, and it has a clear political interest in his conviction," he wrote. "Obviously, a fair trial of Hussein will be difficult to ensure and critically important to the future of democracy in Iraq. This trial will write history, affect the course of violence around the world and have an impact on hopes for reconciliation within Iraq." Meanwhile, in Baghdad, the hangman is testing his noose.
Rock on, Kristinn!

He's not deterred. Kool-Aid drinkers rarely are.

Clark was probably thrilled to be recognized by someone.

Typical. He started 2 wars with his neighbors killing millions, had thousands of his countrymen killed and ignored the judgement of the world via UN sanctions and it's our fault.

Kristinn was in RR National Airport to have lunch with a couple of lovely lady Freepers, one of whom was back in the US for a vacation from her duties in Iraq.
If it wasn't for Allegra, Kristinn wouldn't have had the chance to tease Ramsey Clark, up close and personal like.

Who knew that President Bush engineered Saddam's evil madness.
No surprise that this odious skunk was part of Jimmy Carter's administration.

Liberals have low self esteem. I would never give the guy the boost he probably got from having been recognized.
That having been said, the slashing motion was a nice touch.
