Is this the first time the MSM has used the word "Terrorist?"

Since Saddam has outside commo via his lawyers, it's probably not good to be one of a team of lawyers.

If they need to delay, what better excuse than "Your honor, we need a delay....one of my lawyers was killed."

Finally!
Reuters found an appropriate use of the term TERRORIST..

Bastards.....we're killing innocent civilian freedom fighters --- and the "terrorists" are killing Saddam's lawyers..

Reuters -- the Sheethead's Press..

They were angry that it was Sadaam's lawyer, a good guy in their minds.

They should put Saddam on trial for his ordering his murder.

At least charge him for now and then dismiss the case so they can execute him on the current charges, hopefully in a month or two.

They need to hurry this trial up. It is taking way too long. The monster should have been hung or shot by now.

Agence France-Presse -

Saddam lawyer killed in Iraq

One of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's defense lawyers, Khamis al-Obeidi, was killed in Baghdad, an interior ministry official said Wednesday.

"The police found the corpse of Obeidi tossed in the 'Good Morning' roundabout in the Ur neighborhood" of Baghdad's mainly Sunni Adhamiyah district, the official said.

But when AFP tried to contact Obeidi on his mobile phone following a report on state television about his killing, a man who identified himself as the lawyer's aide said he was "alive."

Obeidi is the third defense lawyer for Saddam to be killed since his trial for crimes against humanity opened in October.
