Well, Kennedy committed treason back in the 1980s by helping the Soviets against Reagan, so why should helping Saddam be any different?

“Wyatt provided the Iraq government with information about when the United States would invade and bomb Iraq and how many soldiers would be sent”
How did Wyatt know that?

The motion seeks to remove prosecutors' evidence that suggests payments made by Wyatt to Iraq's state oil marketing organization were passed straight on to Saddam, arguing it would prejudice the jury.So actually telling the jury what he did might "prejudice" the jury? That's a novel defence!

Oscar wants evidence of his guilt omitted because it might confirm his guilt. If it can be proved that Ted Kennedy provided the inside information, the senate should remove him.

I wonder if any of the MSM will pursue this Kennedy link... /sarc

I wonder how much of those oil-for-food kickbacks The Swimmer was able to pocket.
To: bw17
He has given money to Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, Jay Rockefeller, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, the DNC, the RNC, Tom Daschle, Bob Kerrey, Bob Dole, John Cornyn, Joseph Kennedy, and a long list of others.
He certainly believes in covering all the bases.

The motion seeks to remove prosecutors' evidence that suggests payments made by Wyatt to Iraq's state oil marketing organization were passed straight on to Saddam, arguing it would prejudice the jury. Wyatt is also asking to have portions of a diary of a former Iraqi state oil agency employee, Mubdir Al-Khudhair, omitted. It suggests Wyatt provided the Iraq government with information about when the United States would invade and bomb Iraq and how many soldiers would be sent, according to the motion.
"Such actions would likely be considered repugnant by most Americans and could potentially bias,"
So, telling the truth and giving the jury all evidence might make him look guilty in their eyes? Hmmmm, we sure wouldn't want that.

Well at least this guy and his lawyer get an "A+" for chutzpah. The last time I looked, evidence of guilt does tend to prejudice a jury in favor of conviction.

“How did Wyatt know that?”
Senator Kennedy?

My guess is that it’s a two way street, Wyatt talking to Kennedy and Kennedy talking to Wyatt or there’s even more politicians involved.

I did a google news search for this Kennedy connection and found a whole 16 articles worldwide.

How dare you question Sen. Kennedy’s patriotism? What’s next, his driving?

One diary entry also states that "Wyatt allegedly convinced Senator Edward Kennedy to deliver a speech against the war with Iraq," according to the motion.Isn't that a bit like asking the Senator if he'd like another scotch? I don't see anything particularly damning in this with respect to Senator Kennedy. Of course the accused (Wyatt) would know if there is anything more to divulge, in which case he'll have an accident in the prison showers.

It’s amazing isn’t it. “Your Honor, I respectfully request that you omit any evidence that points to my guilt, thank you”.
