US rebel joins Saddam legal team

BBC News

Former US attorney general Ramsey Clark has joined the team of Jordan-based lawyers defending Saddam Hussein.

Mr Clark - who held office in the 1960s under President Lyndon Johnson - said his principal concern was protecting the rights of the former Iraqi leader.

Saddam Hussein this month saw a lawyer for the first time since his capture.

Left-wing activist Mr Clark described the special tribunal established to try members of the former regime as a creation of the US military occupation.

2. Ramsey Clark is a US "rebel???"
Granted, he's been flogging the chimp since chimp stole the election in 2000, but to call him a "rebel" seems a bit much...:grr:
