Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark who recently announced he's joining Saddam Hussein's legal team is now explaining his decision, insisting that Americans have demonized Saddam, and "one of the greatest barriers to peace is demonization."
Clark specifically condemns images of Saddam from prison, saying, "The savage presentation of [Saddam], disheveled, with his mouth open, people probing in his mouth, the dehumanization ... this is hardly the road to peace if you want respect for human dignity." | I would have preferred a picture of him hanging by a piano wire, but that's just me. |
Clark adds, "In presence [Saddam] is reserved, quiet, thoughtful dignified, you might say, in the old-fashioned sense." | "I'm John F. Kerry, Ramsey Clark supported me, and I approve of this................he said what?." |
