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!

Gee Kristinn. Couldn't you have YELLED something gentle and soothing like - HEY RAMSEY - YER BOY'S GONNA HANG LIKE A HICKORY CURED HAM. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm sure Ramsey is quite bummed out right about now. Heh, heh...
("Get this pr*ck out of my courtroom...")
EID MUBARAK, IRAQ!
Please ping me!
BwaaaaaHaaaaaHaaaaaaHaaa!
You picked a fine itme to go on vacation! ;*)
Watched the live news coverage with family membes at WR!

("Get this pr*ck out of my courtroom...")
*grin...giggle...snicker"
Apparently once wasn't enough Kristinn. Next time back up and run into him again harder.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!
NO more calls, please. We have a winner!
"He'll get his one day, but by God's hand. not mine."
Thou art noble and believeth in a Just God. AMEN.
(Amenth?)
;^)
Score another point for THE GOOD GUYS!
Rock on, Kristinn!
Its amazing how a man like Ramsey Clark can be so ignorant. Saddam demonized himself. And the evidence is readily available for all to see, but then that was on Clinton's watch. We musn't acknowledge his abandonment of the Kurds.
Halabjah 1988 Northern Iraq. This is what demonized Saddam, and he earned it, and he deserved more than the quick efficient death he got.Ramsey Clark is as selectively ignorant as they come.
Halabjah 1988 Northern Iraq, Thousands of Gassed Kurds, thanks to Saddam and his sons. Mark you, that is genocide:
Poor Saddam. Demonized he was? Ramsey, you're on the wrong side of history, and your vileness is shameful!
OUTSTANDING!!!!
BWAHAHA!
I thought Kristinn had RUN INTO HIM with a car or somethin'.
When my husband was in the service, he guarded Hess in Spandau prison. I think he did commit suicide but he did go crazy. He also became a Catholic, I do believe, before all that happened, of course.
Hey, whattup w'da WashTimes? I hit the link to read the full text and -- good ol' error 404: File not found.
Was it too popular? For subscribers only?
They both have the same 'intelligent' look in their eyes.
You rule, man. Ramsey will definitely be playing pinochle in Hell with Saddam.
