Let's ju...Saddam Hussein had a lawyer murdered. Let's just imagine that the new regime is not bending over backwards to protect them.<br />It would not affect the outcome anyway. The conclusion is foregone, happens for a purpose. But why not let the charade less obvious by weakening the defense?<br /><br />Was Abuzed Dorda & Co "guilty"? <br />Certainly, that comes with the job, just like a soldier or even a policemen would be guilty of killing people along with their duty.<br /><br />Guilt and wrongdoing is defined by the victor. When we throw our mighty military in, destroying the infrastructure of a country with enormous cost of life, this is claimed as an unfortunate but legitimate necessity. <br /><br />Doing whatever possible to get the Iran-Iraq war going, well, that is not a crime. No court will ever try anyone for entering Iraq and Libya. But we executed Saddam Hussein for the death of the 148 Shiites from Dujail.<br /><br />Some more show will follow, with the possibility of one or two sentences (not that of a son of Gadaffi, though) being converted to life in prison, just to show that the court is not deaf. Then Mr. Dorda and the others will be executed.<br /><br />All utterly predictable, banal and trivial.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-64917661069412059522015-07-28T16:28:38.818+01:002015-07-28T16:28:38.818+01:00"Dorda alleged in court that two lawyers resi..."Dorda alleged in court that two lawyers resigned from his defense due to threats, and that a third was prevented by unknown people from representing him."<br />https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/07/28/libya-flawed-trial-gaddafi-officialsRobert Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606456028430261555noreply@blogger.com
