don't know who these "liberals" are that everyone seems to be mentioning.  the reason why i even made the original post was because i saw it as a huge *tactical* mistake on the part of one of the figureheads/celebrity spokespersons for (sadly) one of the largest "anti-war" groups out there to basically fall into the hands of critics of "the movement" by volunteering to defend saddam. if ramsey clark was just some random, weird former attorney general as opposed to one associated with IAC/ANSWER then i wouldn't give a fuck. 

thats it.

i never mentioned anyhting about saddam not having the right to be defended or defend himself.  i heard some french dude might even want to defend him in order to use the trial to embarass the u.s. and other one-time allies of saddam-- more power to him.

and to the person who amde the snide remark about "young anarchists", why is it assumed that anarchists are young?
