Saddam's Trial

So now Saddam claims he has been both physically and mentally tortured. Whoopie. Now I am sure that there are groups that think we need an investigation into whether this was true. The whole credibility of the United States could be at stake here i mean. But really, does anyone actually believe this. Assuming for a moment that all torture is wrong, is there any actual proof. I mean really, do we have to hear every ridiculous allegation that comes from his, and other people's mouths if its bad about the US? I mean we have no proof of this, the Red Cross has attentively looked at Saddam's condition and found nothing. Not a single doctor will testify that he was beaten or "phychologically abused." What the hell does that mean anyway? Perhaps he is having a breakdown since he can't torture people himself anymore so thats torture to him? But then again, since we are sooo ready to believe the words of the most heinous people on the planet, perhaps he is smart for making allegations.

Another thing here is his lawyers. I am still disgusted that Ramsey Clark is defending this man. I know that everyone needs to have representation, at least here in the US, but the attorney general for Clinton? That just sends beyond the wrong message and shows you where people's true loyalties lie. Oh and here is a money statement from one of his lawyers:

"The Americans informed us that a security firm wanted $7 000 to protect us to and from the airport but we rejected the offer and told the Americans we would hold them responsible for our safety," Ghazzawi said.

This is just silly. We won't pay what it costs to keep us safe, but we will hold you responsible. Fucking lunatics. If you try to defend a mass murderer of your own free will, and won't pony up the cash you so easily have for protection, then you have no right to hold the US responsible. Perhaps it would have been much better for that dude who found Saddam in the spider hole to just have arranged Saddam's meeting with the Almighty. Oh wait a second, the US doesn't do that!
