Who's Killing Saddam's Lawyers?
neo-neocon has an in-depth post on the shrinking life expectancy of Saddam's defense lawyers (two have now been assassinated):
The world press has talked from the start about how Saddam's trial shouldn't be held in Iraq, and the murders of the lawyers could play to this belief and create clear proof in their eyes that indeed, it's not safe enough. And who would benefit from a move? Saddam, especially if it's to a European country with no death penalty (unlikely, but possible).
It's no stretch for me to imagine that a prime goal of his Saddam's supporters would be to get the trial moved to, say, The Hague. Can you say "jury nullification"--modern European anti-American postmodern multicultural style?
