I know I've already said that Saddam Hussein is entitled to a fair
trial, which includes the right to legal counsel and defense. But it
occurs to me that maybe we ought to have some fun with this-- say, by
starting a movement to demand that Saddam Hussein act as his _own_
defense attorney. "Let Saddam Be Saddam" might be a fine battle-cry,
along with demands for live, translated broadcasts of his trial, just to
watch the spectacle of the dictator _fighting for his very life_, heh
heh heh.
And we could easily turn this into a means of denouncing people like Clark. Why would they want to give the guy a _lawyer_? Because they want _justice_? Nahh-- Saddam ran a whole country for thirty years. He ought to be able to handle a simple _trial_. No, we say, people like Clark want him to get a lawyer because they don't want truth or justice to be done... and they want to deprive us of the lovely spectacle of Saddam melting down in a court of law.
