Kristinn Taylor Runs Into Ramsey Clark
The Washington Times ^ | 12-29-2006 | Tom the Redhunter

Posted on 12/29/2006 2:18:04 PM PST by Tom the Redhunter

From today's Washington Times "Inside the Beltway"column:

Kristinn Taylor, president of the local Free Republic chapter, was walking through the concourse of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon when he spotted one of Saddam Hussein's attorneys, Ramsey Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson.

"As we walked by each other in the uncrowded terminal, I made a slashing motion across my neck and said to him, 'It's too bad about Saddam,' " in reference to the deposed Iraqi tyrant's failed judicial appeal to avert his death sentence. At that point, he said, Mr. Clark "glanced back at me with a hangdog look and nodded his head in sad agreement."

Mr. Clark last year explained in an op-ed essay in the Los Angeles Times why he was willing to defend Hussein. He acknowledged that a majority of the media were dismissive of him. " 'There goes Ramsey Clark again,' they seemed to say. 'Isn't it a shame? He used to be attorney general of the United States and now look at what he's doing.' "

He's not deterred. "The United States, and the Bush administration in particular, engineered the demonization of Hussein, and it has a clear political interest in his conviction," he wrote. "Obviously, a fair trial of Hussein will be difficult to ensure — and critically important to the future of democracy in Iraq. This trial will write history, affect the course of violence around the world and have an impact on hopes for reconciliation within Iraq." Meanwhile, in Baghdad, the hangman is testing his noose.

Rock on, Kristinn!

As much as I wanted to tell him off full blast, the concourse was not the right place to do that.

The least you could have done is scream: "HE'S GOT A BOMB!" while pointing at Clark.

And the concourse is the perfect place to do that. ;-)

He would have been even more thrilled to meet someone who respects and admires him.If anyone knows of such a person maybe a meeting could be arranged.

Sarcasm off

Did Clark get paid or did he defend him out of the goodness of this heart?

Oh never mind, Hussein will be getting his 72 virgins tonight and not a second to soon.

***Hopefully the US guards have thoroughly searched Hussein several times so he won't be able to cheat the hangman.***

Which may be why they wouldn't let his lawyer and daughter in to say goodbye to him.

I guess the demonization only included gassing Kurds, mass graves, defiling virgins, killing opponents. I just can't understand why this would qualify Saddam for demonization. And by golly, the US is the only country to notice.
