Former U.S. Attorney General explains why he has chosen to serve as one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers, and his belief that the tribunal setup to try Saddam defies international and U.S. law.
Does Saddam have the right to a fair trial?

Sympathy For The Devil
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long years
Stole many man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo
I agree that a free society requires vigorous defense even for monsters such as Hussein, Dahmer, Hitler, and Tookie (though I didn't even know that Robert De Niro's girlfriend was on death row, or that the Crips had hoes). Would you be impressed if Ramsey went to South Africa to defend the accused in the Truth Trials? Or the cops who beat Rodney King? Or the crackers who killed Goodman, Cheney, and Schwerner? Or Emmitt Till's killers? He's some Clarance Darrow! Darrow defended Ocean Sweet and the Scarsboro Boys; Ramsey defends Saddam Hussein. Maybe he should have helped with Scott Peterson.
"Does Saddam have the right to a fair trial?"
He's gotta show up first.
And by the way, what the f**k is up with that anyway? Drag that sorry sack of excrement into the courtroom in shackles if you have to. Jesus Christ, who's running this show anyway?
They should have just shot him in the rat hole they found him and been done with it.
