Not to hijack my own edition of the Dose but here's some background on Clark, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_Clark . I include this because he is working against the international policies of our president, Congress, and the nation at large.
Begin quote:
Clark is well-known for having unconventional political views and for providing support and legal advice to numerous controversial figures in conflict with the US or western governments, including:
Branch Davidian leader David Koresh
alleged former Nazis Karl Linnas and Jack Riemer
antiwar activist Father Philip Berrigan
Native American alleged political prisoner Leonard Peltier
Liberian political figure Charles Taylor during his 1985 fight against extradition from the United States to Liberia
Lyndon LaRouche, who faced charges of conspiracy and mail fraud
Slobodan Milosevic in the International Criminal Court.
Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a leader of the Rwandan genocide
PLO leaders in a lawsuit brought by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair bound elderly tourist who was shot and tossed overboard from the hijacked Achille Lauro cruise ship by Palestinian terrorists in 1986
The state of Iraq, serving as legal counsel for the Hussein regime.
Saddam Hussein, former leader of Iraq who was removed from power during a 2003 invasion led by the US
Clark is affiliated with VoteToImpeach, an organization advocating the impeachment of President George W. Bush. He has been an opponent of both Gulf Wars. It is also widely claimed that his association with Lyndon LaRouche in the early 1990s went beyond legal counsel to advocacy. He is the founder of the International Action Center, which has much overlapping membership with the Workers' World Party. Clark and the IAC helped found the anti-war group ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).
In December 2004, Clark went to Iraq to join the legal team defending Saddam Hussein before the Iraqi Special Tribunal in a trial expected in 2005.
