I agree that Saddam should have legal representation;
however, there is a good reason that people vilify the
ANSWER crowd as apologists and defenders of Hussein:
they are apologists and defenders of Hussein.

The Right will have a field day if Clark is chosen as
Saddam's Attorney.  He is after all not just some
Attorney who has decided to defend the man because he
thinks the Iraqi dictator has a right to a fair trial.
Ramsey Clark is the leading poster boy for a group
that
has consistently defended the Ba'athists.  In turn
that group was nominally at least the chief organizer
of several national anti-war marches. And so the Right
will have a good angle to push the anti-war movement
as a bunch of Saddam lovers.
